Last week, we had the pleasure of hearing from Jeff Abke with the
Perrysburg Schools Foundation . As a proud Perrysburg native, Jeff
brings a deep personal commitment to our schools and our community —and it shows in everything he does.
His presentation, School Funding 101, was both informative and eyeopening. Jeff has a remarkable ability to break down complex topics in a way that feels approachable, relevant, and important. He reminded us how vital community support is to maintaining the high standards Perrysburg Schools are known for, and he helped us better understand how funding works behind the scenes.
Beyond his professional role, Jeff is a true family man and a passionate sports fan—two things that shine through in his energy and enthusiasm. His dedication to Perrysburg, both on and off the field, makes him a tremendous asset to our community.
Thank you, Jeff, for an outstanding presentation and for everything you do to help elevate Perrysburg Schools.
