Trotwood Chamber of Commerce

Schools

The Trotwod-Madison City School district has become a partner to local business and the City of Trotwood, providing assistance with economic development projects through the use of a 30 year Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Agreement. The TIF district surrounds and includes the Landmark site, and has been used successfully to fund some aspects of the redevelopment project including associated Salem Avenue corridor improvements. The school district understands the vital role it plays in furthering development in the area.

T-M City Schools has begun a $90,000,000.00 investment in new facilities for all grades (K-12). These new facilities will provide state of the art learning environments to all Trotwood students.

With completion of the new High School for the 2005/06 school year, positive results are already showing through improved academic test scores.

The State Superintendent's Schools of Promise program, administered by the Ohio Department of Education, recognizes schools across Ohio that are demonstrating high achievement in reading and mathematics for all groups of students.

This program is resulting in improvement at all levels of the district, including the Board of Education.
