Treasurer

The Forest Hills Treasurer’s Office provides fiscal accountability through effective accounting and resource management procedures that are aligned with government regulations and district initiatives. The district is proud to provide stability and opportunities for students. 

The Treasurer of an Ohio school district must hold an appropriate certification to serve as the Chief Financial Officer and reports directly to the Board of Education. The Treasurer's Office is responsible for all district financial operations including accounting, payroll, reporting, compliance with the Auditor of the State, EMIS (student information) data coordination (for state funding) and the preparation of the annual tax budget and Five Year Financial Forecast. Copies of these documents are available to the general public.

In January 2015, Forest Hills received bond ratings on the bonds issued after voters approved Issue 4 in November 2014 to renovate and rebuild district schools. Moody’s Investors Service awarded Forest Hills a Aa2 bond rating while Standard and Poor’s awarded the district a AA rating - both excellent ratings. These ratings helped the district secure lower interest rates, saving taxpayers more than $1 million. Read the ratings reports here.

Further, excellence in financial record keeping and sound accounting practice earned Forest Hills an award from Auditor of State Dave Yost for the 2017-2018 fiscal year audit. Read the audit here.
