|content=In early [[Wayne County, Ohio]], section 16 of each township in Ohio was set aside to financially support the schools.  The land was leased at $0.12 per acre and not sold.  This method did not produce adequate funding. In 1826 Congress passed an act which permitted the states to sell the land.  The money was deposited into the State Treasury and the interest earned on these funds would be paid to the Township Schools.  This system of funding continued until 1968.  After 1968, the funds would be paid directly to the school boards.
