School districts in Ohio are classified as either city school districts, exempted village school districts, or local school districts. City and exempted village school districts are exempted from county boards of education, local school districts remain under county school board supervision. In Ohio, community schools (charter schools) serve as their own independent school districts. School districts may combine resources to form a fourth type of school district, the joint vocational school district, which focuses on a technical based curriculum.[1] There are currently 611 individual school districts in Ohio. In 1914, Ohio had 2,674 school districts.

The U.S. Census Bureau classifies Ohio school districts as independent governments. There are no Ohio K-12 public school systems dependent on another layer of government.[2]

In southwestern Ohio, portions of Preble and Butler counties near College Corner are served by the Union County–College Corner Joint School District of Union County, Indiana. The State of Ohio reimburses the state of Indiana for the cost of educating Ohio students.[3]
