schools: MLS: "Worthington Schools - Columbus Taxes" What Does That Mean? - 01/06/11 09:35 PM
The MLS* remarks say the home is in "Worthington Schools - Columbus taxes"
or an ad on a Central Ohio home online or in print says the home is in "Worthington Schools - Columbus taxes"  ...What does that mean?
Worthington schools
What does that mean?  "Worthington Schools - Columbus Taxes" ...that means the home is in the City of Columbus (Columbus Corporation Limit)  and the Worthington City School District.  The Ohio school districts were set  long before much of Central Ohio was developed.  The school district boundaries existed and the area was largely rural.  Later Columbus annexed land in the … (1 comments)

schools: New Albany Area, New Columbus School? - 12/13/10 12:27 AM
Is the "New Albany area" going to get a new school? 
Not the Plain Local School District but the area near New Albany (with New Albany or Westerville mailing addresses ) but in the Columbus City School District.  The area is described by the Columbus Dispatch as a "Win-Win Island."  New Albany area residents (northeast Columbus neighborhoods in the Columbus City School District)  go to schools which are a distance away. The children attend schools in Columbus schools which are (is?) on the other side of the Westerville City School District from their Far Northeast Columbus neighborhoods.

schools: Worthington schools are not included - 05/17/10 12:26 AM
"Worthington schools are not included"

In a history of the Win-Win agreement the Columbus Dispatch wrote "Worthington schools are not included"*
which says  "1986: Win-Win agreement signed between Columbus and 10 suburban districts: Canal Winchester, Dublin, Gahanna-Jefferson, Groveport Madison, Hamilton, Hilliard, New Albany-Plain, Reynoldsburg, South-Western and Westerville. Because of the 1968 agreement, Worthington schools are not included."
Worthington already had an agreement with the Columbus school district and the city of Columbus.  The Worthingon agreement goes back to 1968 and there was a land swap. The Budweiser brewery for neighborhoods south of the City of Worthington.
