CLEVELAND — The next article was initially revealed within the Ohio Capital Journal and revealed on News5Cleveland.com underneath a content-sharing settlement.
Two Cleveland-area faculties can be required to share taxes based mostly on a decades-old settlement, regardless of the deal not being permitted by the state board of training, based on a ruling by the Ohio Supreme Courtroom.
Warrensville Heights Metropolis Faculty District and Beachwood Metropolis Faculty District had been tied in a authorized dispute over years of tax revenues, with Beachwood saying they have been owed greater than $5 million from their fellow faculty district.
The disagreement stems from the annexation by the Beachwood district of greater than 400 acres of land that was a part of of the Warrensville Heights district in 1990. Beachwood requested for the state faculty board’s approval of the land switch at the moment, beginning years of negotiation between the 2 districts.
That settlement got here in 1997, when a retired decide chosen as mediator between the faculties really helpful the land keep throughout the Warrensville Heights district, however that the tax revenues from the land be shared. Warrensville Heights would obtain 70% of property tax revenues, and Beachwood would obtain 30%.
Native faculty boards permitted of the transfer, however the state board of training wasn’t requested to enter an opinion on the matter.
Beachwood got here to the courts in 2018, claiming Warrensville Heights refused to share tax revenues from 2012 to 2017. On the time, a court docket sided with Warrensville in saying faculty officers in 1997 couldn’t “contract over the switch of tax {dollars}” with out state faculty board approval.
In the latest ruling by the state supreme court docket, the vast majority of justices disagreed, saying state faculty board approval wasn’t required by regulation for the 2 districts to share tax income “and that the absence of such approval doesn’t render the settlement unenforceable.”

![Number One 2025 Wide Receiver Picks Oregon Over Ohio State](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3000,h_1687,x_0,y_326/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/buckeyes_now/01j2029zymfmx7z3p11d.jpg)
Recruiting fireworks put a close to this 4th of July as the top wide receiver prospect in the 2025 class made his official commitment to the Oregon Ducks.
Dakorien Moore chose Oregon over Ohio State, Texas and LSU.

Moore was previously committed to the LSU Tigers since August, but decommitted back in May. After reopening his recruitment it appeared like LSU had slid down the list despite remaining in his top four.
The Oregon Ducks are not only getting the number one overall receiver in the 2025 class, but also the number three overall prospect in the country.
The 5’11” and 182-pound star receiver from Duncanville, Texas caught 65 passes for 1,303 yards and 15 touchdowns in his junior season. When asked on Instagram live during the announcement about whether he would change his commitment again, Moore stated that he was done after this and putting all of his focus towards his senior season.
Prior to Moore’s commitment to the Oregon Ducks, On3 ranked Oregon at fifth overall in the 2025 rankings and 247 Sports has the Ducks at seventh overall. Moore will not only be a great bump for head coach Dan Lanning’s group, but will also potentially be able to make an impact early due to several veteran receivers prepared to go to the NFL in the next year or two.
As for the Buckeyes, snagging Moore felt like more of a long-shot but they had a chance. Their next chance to snag a five-star wide receiver is Jaime Ffrench in this same 2025 class. Ffrench is considered the fourth best wide receiver on 247 Sports and the crystal ball predictions have been trending in favor of the Buckeyes over Texas and a few other schools.

Keita Bates-Diop will be in the Big Apple to begin his seventh NBA season.
The former Ohio State forward was dealt from the Brooklyn Nets to the New York Knicks along with star wing Mikal Bridges and a second-round pick. In return, the Nets get Bojan Bogadanovic, Mamadi Diakite, Shake Milton, four unprotected first-round picks, an unprotected pick swap, a top-four protected first-round pick and a second-round pick.
Sources: The Knicks are signing-and-trading Shake Milton as part of Mikal Bridges/Bojan Bogdanovic trade to the Nets, who will also send Keita Bates-Diop to New York. Milton will sign a three-year, $9 million contract, with over minimum in year one and two non-guaranteed years.

Although the Knicks will be Bates-Diop’s sixth team since he was selected in the second round of the 2018 NBA draft, the 28-year-old has proven to be a solid backup forward throughout his career. Bates-Diop has averaged six points and three rebounds per game while shooting 47.4% from the floor and 33.3% from beyond the arc through six seasons.
His 2023-24 season came to an abrupt end when he suffered a stress fracture in his shin on March 23, one that required season-ending surgery. While he averaged just 1.6 points in 4.9 minutes per game after getting dealt to the Phoenix Suns midway through last campaign, the 6-foot-8 forward’s best season came in 2022-23, his last with the San Antonio Spurs. Bates-Diop averaged a career-high 9.7 points, accompanied by 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He shot 39.4% from beyond the arc that year.
Bates-Diop recently exercised his $2,654,644 player option for 2024-25 and will become an unrestricted free agent following next season.
He played four seasons at Ohio State, averaging 11.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. His breakout campaign came in 2017-18, when Bates-Diop averaged 19.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, earning Big Ten Player of the Year and consensus second-team All-American honors.
