Both Cuyahoga Falls and Woodridge are big winners in state funding over the next two years.
The Cuyahoga Falls school district is expected to get nearly $12 million in 2014 from state funding, according to preliminary numbers from the Ohio Department of Education.
That is $1 million more than in 2013, when the district received just under $11 million, an increase of 10 percent.
In 2015 the state is expected to dish out $12.7 million to the district, another six percent boost, resulting in another $690,000.
Woodridge should receive more than $1 million in 2014, a 129% increase from the $472,000 they got in 2013.
In 2015 they are expected to receive around $1.4 million, another 25 percent boost.
| 2013 | 2014 | Increase | 2015 | Increase | |
| Cuyahoga Falls | $10,933,634 | $11,970,037 | 10% | $12,657,275 | 06% |
| Woodridge | $472,061 | $1,080,736 | 129% | $ 1,350,920 | 25% |
In May, voters will decide whether or not to pass a five-year, 3-mill permanent improvement levy for the Cuyahoga Falls City School district.
Woodridge passed a 6.83-mill levy in November.
The specific numbers for school funding in Gov. John Kasich's budget were released on Wednesday afternoon.

Let's put a levy on the ballot:
The schools can pay homeowners this time.
But it's just a couple dollars per homeowner per month...

Looks like we won't need that levy in May...

Of course they'll still need it.
They've got lots of uses for our money. They just have to take it from us first.
