Thanks to careful spending, cost controls, and thoughtful planning, Worthington Schools is stretching the dollars approved by our community in 2022 until at least 2028.

We finished last school year under budget and reduced projected wage and benefit costs by $7.2 million over the five-year forecast.

Worthington Schools has decided to end our contract with Flock Safety and remove the license plate reader cameras at our high school entrances and exits.

As we head into the 2026–2027 school year, Ohio’s new attendance requirements under House Bill 96 bring some important changes for students and families.

In his latest blog, Superintendent Trent Bowers explains what the new law means for Worthington Schools, including when families can expect to hear from us, how we’ll track attendance, and how we’ll continue to support students and families when challenges arise.

At our opening convocation, Superintendent Trent Bowers challenged Worthington Schools staff to think beyond simply being “nice.”

Kindness, he says, means believing in kids enough to hold high expectations, having the courage to tell them the truth, and standing beside them as they work to reach that bar.

Superintendent Trent Bowers addresses the increased use of e-bikes and his hopes for the school year in his latest blog post.

This August, the Worthington School District welcomed a new group of talented educators ready to make a lasting difference for our kids.

As a Worthington graduate and someone who was once a below-average student, Superintendent Bowers knows firsthand how much a great teacher’s belief can change a life. That’s what we mean by “Be Kind to Kids” - see the potential, set a high bar, and give students the support they need to reach it.
