If Issue 16, the Medina City School district’s proposed 7.5-mill, 10-year emergency levy, fails, Nov. 5, the district has plans to make $8 million in permanent reductions for the 2025-26 school year as well as in subsequent school years.

Sable also pointed out that it has been more than a decade since the district asked the community for new levy funds. He said that, if approved, these new levy funds would be used to maintain what the district has already created as opposed to adding programming. Under the reduction plan, neighborhood elementary schools will transition into grade level buildings with one building housing kindergarten, another housing first grade, another second grade, another third grade and another fourth grade. Sable said this move would allow the district to reduce personnel with less impact on academics.
High school busing will be eliminated and media services, curriculum instruction coaches and counseling and mental health supports will be reduced. Budgets for safety and security upgrades as well as for building and departmental budgets will be reduced. The school district placed an issue on the ballot last November which included a combined 6.5-mill operating levy and a 2.83-mill bond issue which voters rejected. Back in March, the district placed a 7.5-mill continuous levy on the ballot and voters also rejected that measure.
