1986 – State Representative Michael Stinziano (Columbus) and other community and education leaders convened a series of negotiations with Franklin County School District officials. Under the leadership of a national conflict resolution advisor, these officials eventually reached an agreement that would finally put an end to the short-sightedness and insecurity that permeate the territorial disputes of school districts. Columbus City Schools and eleven neighboring districts negotiated the Joint Agreement Among and Between the Boards of Education of Certain School Districts in Franklin County, Ohio, dubbed „Win-Win,“ using the give-and-receive negotiation technique that led to the adoption of the agreement. The agreement established mechanisms for forecasting school boundaries between the twelve member districts. He established procedures for Columbus to acquire new territory in the future and established a stake in revenue between Columbus City Schools and the suburbs. The successful passage of the agreement led to the approval of the Ohio General Assembly and the signing of the agreement by Governor Celeste. A: In 1998, the Reynoldsburg Board of Education went simply. The borough paid only $17,360 to Columbus schools. Then-Superintendent Richard Ross told The Dispatch: „There was a question of whether we should have been there,“ he said. „We`ve never been a great player.“ Columbus school officials agreed that their time and energy was better spent than looking for this country. A: Eight Columbus City Schools school districts pay about 1 percent of the new business and business tax growth on land in their districts annexed by the City of Columbus prior to 1986. The amount is limited to $US 1.15 million per year.

In return, the Columbus schools agreed not to attempt to seize this territory. The legal agreement is renewed every six years, again this year. In 2015, Columbus schools took about 5.5 million $US win-win. One county, Gahanna-Jefferson, owes nothing. The tax treaty was concluded in 1986 to put an end to a possible territorial struggle. The city of Columbus had annexed unred areas for a few decades, but suburban school districts still served those areas. Loud protests have taken place in the suburbs against the possibility of Columbus schools hosting them. The General Assembly established a six-year moratorium on land transfers prior to the negotiations and the 1986 agreement. .
