"Excellent with Distinction" | | |
The Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District has once again - for the ninth consecutive year - earned the highest rating on the Ohio Department of Education’s Local Report Card. Additionally, due to the district’s scores and academic growth rate in student achievement on the Ohio Achievement Tests and the Ohio Graduation Tests, the district earned the newest and now highest rating of “Excellent with Distinction.”
The Board of Education and the administration thank the students and staff for their hard work, as well as parents and other community members for their continued support of the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City Schools. Without that support, our students would not be able to achieve at such a high level.

District Receives Financial Award | | |
On December 12, Auditor of State Mary Taylor’s office, represented by Michelle J. Stys, Greater Cleveland Regional Liaison, presented the Brecksville-Broadview Heights City School District with the “Making Your Tax Dollars Count” award for the district’s fiscal year 2005 audit.
When presenting the award to Treasurer/CFO Karen Obratil, Superintendent Dr. Tom Diringer, Board President Alan Scheufler and Obratil’s fiscal staff, Stys stressed that fewer than five percent of all Ohio government agencies are eligible for this award. In fact, 415 agencies in northeastern Ohio applied for the award, but only 17 awards were granted.
The criteria for this award include:
The entity must complete and submit a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).
There must be no findings or issues present in their most recent audit report.
There must be no other financial concerns involving the entity.
