Some major levies across Northeast Ohio passed in the election, approving more funding, saving some large area school districts and their future plans.Cuyahoga County voters passed the Cleveland Metro School District 295-mill bond by 66% and decided to pass the school levy despite recent property reappraisals. Cuyahoga County is one of seven counties that completed new state-required reappraisals, with homeowners seeing their property values increase around 30% on average.
The district is also moving forward with a 7.6-mill operating levy to pay daily expenses.North High leaders believe a new building is needed to replace the 93-year-old school with about 900 students, as they say there have been ongoing problems with roof leaks and ceiling tiles falling into classrooms. The levy and bond issue comes after the Akron schools cut $24 million from the budget and eliminated hundreds of jobs, including dozens of teaching positions.
