🎭 Dancing drama

Dublin • April 4, 2025

​

Good morning, Dublin. The stage is set for a showstopping weekend as over 70 talented Marysville students bring ABBA's timeless hits to life in "Mamma Mia!" This milestone production marks the school's first-ever entry into the prestigious CAPA Marquee Awards competition, with performances running Friday through Sunday under Brianna Bizzaro's expert direction. For those ready to channel their inner Dancing Queen, tickets are available online—just be prepared to have those iconic tunes stuck in your head for days afterward.

Meanwhile, a different kind of drama is unfolding in Hilliard's education funding debate. As state lawmakers weigh a proposed $226 million increase for K-12 education, local parents are expressing concern about potential shortfalls. The tension highlights a familiar challenge for growing communities—balancing quality education with taxpayer considerations. The state budget clock is ticking toward a July 1st deadline, with families across the district watching closely.

📚 Hilliard parents fear education cuts will shortchange their children. House Republicans proposed adding $226 million for K-12 education, but critics argue this underfunds schools by $2.75 billion. For Hilliard specifically, Policy Matters Ohio says the district needs $7.3 million over two years but would receive only $780,000 under the GOP plan. One concerned father worries that despite passing a major levy last November, the district will soon need another, forcing families to "pay for it negatively—either out of my pocket or through my children's education." The state budget must be finalized by July 1st.
