Good morning, Oxford.
🎓 Education
Miami student Graeme Banks created TransferU, a tool designed to show which college courses will transfer so students do not lose credits.
The site is live but still needs more university partners before it can be used nationally — a step that may ease the high cost of lost transfer credits.
Miami University’s Oxford campus now offers in-state tuition for residents of 29 Indiana-Ohio border counties—this change follows a tuition and fee increase and aims to simplify admissions while boosting enrollment for fall 2026.
Officials say the expanded agreement benefits incoming students and builds on a successful partnership between the two states.
Talawanda School District will lose about $242,000 over two years (FY26 and FY27) after the Butler County Commission approved tax exemptions that cut property tax collections for schools.
The district earned a four-star rating with a 98.7% graduation rate despite low early literacy scores, and some parents raised concerns over the classroom book 'Drama' (which they say is not fit for young students).
