Loveland Tiger Community,
After voters approved a district operating levy last May, I committed to working with our community on solutions to Loveland’s unique school funding challenges. Treasurer John Espy and I are launching that effort by creating a State School Funding Committee.
The committee will be made up of community members who will work together to identify state school funding problems that impact Loveland City Schools and advocate for solutions. Ohio’s school funding system requires districts to return to their community for funding - usually through property tax levies. Homeowners in communities like Loveland face an even greater burden because of our small commercial real estate base.
Please let me know if you are interested in joining our State School Funding Committee. The committee will meet a few times between now and the end of the school year to learn more about school funding, brainstorm together, and craft a plan.
Our district is committed to providing a high-quality education for students in a fiscally responsible way. With the input and effort of our community, I’m hopeful we can make some positive changes to state funding challenges!
If you have questions, send me an email at mikebroadwater@lovelandschools.org.
Go Tigers!

Loveland Tiger Community,
I am honored to serve as the new Treasurer/CFO for the Loveland City School District. In my short time here, I have been working closely with the Treasurer’s Office Team and Central Office staff to continue fine-tuning the Five Year Forecast I will present in May. I’ve also been doing a deep dive into the financial processes in the district and meeting the wonderful people that make up the Loveland City Schools team.
Previously, I served as Treasurer of Milford Exempted Village Schools, Miamisburg City Schools, and the Clermont Northeastern Local Schools. I also have experience in financial software from my time at the Hamilton Clermont Cooperative and a background as a music teacher and band director.
It has been wonderful to connect with community members at the Town Hall meetings in February and answer questions as they come up. One new initiative we are utilizing is fraud prevention software created by Bonefish Systems. This vets every vendor and every transaction to ensure district funds are safe. I look forward to identifying further innovations and processes to be more efficient and effective and connecting with more staff and community members in the coming months.
Go Tigers!
John Espy

More than 3,000 canned goods have been donated to the LIFE Food Pantry thanks to generous donations from our community during the 3’s for LIFE campaign. Students in the Loveland High School Tigers Inc. program collected canned goods to help local families in need. During the campaign, Jarvis Global Investments donated 12 canned goods for every 3-point shot scored by a Loveland boys' or girls' basketball player. Over the last three years, 3’s for LIFE has collected more than 8700 canned goods to support the Loveland-based LIFE Food Pantry. Thank you to everyone who donated!
