Accounting error caused Coshocton City Schools funding discrepancy

COSHOCTON – A dispute over Coshocton City Schools' property tax revenue has been traced to a district accounting error that affected both its reported fund balances and state financial forecast. The district said it received the correct amount of property tax revenue from the Coshocton County Auditor's Office but mistakenly placed some of the money in the general fund instead of the permanent improvement fund. The clarification follows a disagreement over previously reported figures showing the district receiving $453,962 less in its general fund in 2026 compared with 2025. Coshocton County Auditor Grant Daugherty challenged that characterization in a Nov. 9 release, stating county records show the district actually received more property tax revenue in 2026. More: Coshocton schools face $454K tax shortfall amid teacher contract talks In a Nov. 10 release, the district said Treasurer Terri Eyerman addressed the issue during the Oct. 29 school board meeting and confirmed the correct amount of money had been received from the auditor's office. The district said the problem was money intended for permanent improvements was originally deposited and forecast as general fund revenue. Accounting entries moving the money to the proper fund created the variance the district had previously reported. The

Licking Valley offense looks to finish stronger against potent East

HANOVER ― Licking Valley's offense didn't score in the second half last weekend against Granville and totaled just 56 yards. The unbeaten Panthers leaned on their defense during the 22-15 win but know they must put a complete game together on Nov. 13 when athletic Columbus East (10-1) travels to Randy Baughman Stadium for a Division III, Region 11 semifinal. The Steubenville-Dover winner awaits in the regional finals Nov. 20 at a neutral site. "The effort was definitely there," said senior quarterback Brody Rodgers, one of 11 seniors playing their final home game. "We hurt ourselves and have to clean up some execution errors. It was ugly. We'll watch film, lock in and grind it out at practice this week. Take care of business and minimize our mistakes." Coach Randy Baughman admitted that Granville's familiarity with its bitter rival played into the struggle. But it followed a disappointing trend. "It didn't feel like we took our foot off the gas," he said. "But it wasn't just the first week that's happened in the second half. We have to do a better job of continuing what we were doing in the first half." Said All-Ohio offensive tackle Carson Adkins: "It's execution,
