❤️ We are proud to celebrate the retirement of Mrs. Tracy Walker after 20 years of service at New Philadelphia City Schools. ❤️
💭 Tracy shared that some of her favorite memories were taking students each month to volunteer at Blessings in a Backpack. She loved getting to know her students outside of the classroom and helping them realize the difference they can make in the lives of others through service and kindness.
👨👩👧👦 In retirement, Tracy looks forward to spending more time with her three grandchildren and soon to be four! She is excited for this next season of life and to see what God has in store for her.
👏 Tracy, thank you for your years of dedication, compassion, and impact on students at NPCS. You will be greatly missed!

Ohio law limits how much school districts can collect from property taxes even if home values increase. Known as House Bill 920, this law freezes the amount of revenue schools receive from voted millage which means that when property values rise, millage rates are automatically reduced.
While this protects homeowners from large tax spikes it also prevents districts like New Philadelphia from capturing inflationary growth which creates funding challenges over time. That is why proactive budgeting and community engagement are critical.
