Meet Treasurer Mike Resar & Staff

Mike Resar, Treasurer

The role of an effective treasurer encompasses a multitude of responsibilities, each essential to the fiscal health of the district. The State Board of Education and Ohio Department of Education defined the roles and responsibilities of a Treasurer to include the following:

  • Fiscal leaders and advisors who provide sound financial guidance that assists the district leadership team in the decision-making process;

  • Financial managers who clearly understand the economic resources and collaborate with district leadership in their management;

  • Managers of capital and financial assets who, through their fiscal leadership, are charged with the guardianship of these assets;

  • Communicators and collaborators who disseminate and articulate the financial status of the district; and

  • Professionals who adhere to established ethical standards.

School treasurers are entrusted with protecting the fiscal health of the district. To perform these roles and responsibilities, they must execute their duties with the utmost conscientiousness, collaboration and ethical behavior; additionally, they must possess an extensive set of skills and knowledge. Treasurers exhibit the disposition of effective leadership through collaboration. Treasurers lead by demonstrating and nurturing high levels of trust based on their competence, integrity, ethics and high expectations. 


The Treasurer's Office staff includes Tammy Olah, Assistant Treasurer/Payroll; Tammie Skender, Financial/Accounts Receivable; and Annie Patterson, Financial/Accounts Payable. Mr. Resar and the team can be reached at 440-748-5353.

What to Know About School Funding

How Schools are Funded

School districts in Ohio are financed through a combination of three types of funds: federal, state and local.

To qualify for federal funds, districts must develop plans on how to use these funds, including goals and measures. Federal funds are committed for limited periods of time and come with strict guidelines on how they can be spent. At the state level, school districts receive funding from the Ohio Department of Education’s (ODE) general revenue funds and Ohio Lottery profits. And, locally, most Ohio schools are funded through property taxes but can also receive funding from income taxes if voter-approved.

Revenue

Where Funds are Spent

It is a standard benchmark across Ohio school districts that salary and benefits costs represent 70-80% of the annual budget. On average, Midview spends about 79% of tax dollars on salaries and benefits for our staff. While this percentage is at the higher end of the benchmark, it is essential to note that the district has responsibly controlled discretionary spending over purchased services, material/supplies, equipment, and fund-to-fund transfers, which generally represents the remaining 20% of the annual budget. These discretionary funding categories are spent directly on instructional and operational costs.
