As the year begins, many Northeast Ohio school districts are already planning for potential funding measures in the May election. Districts like Avon Lake, Elyria, Vermilion, and Lorain are facing budget constraints and considering bond issues and operating levies to address repairs, new construction, and operational needs.
The year just started, but many Northeast Ohio schools are already looking ahead to spring. In Lorain County, districts from Vermilion to Elyria are considering new funding measures for the May ballot. Some districts are adjusting their approach after voters rejected previous proposals.“We keep going back, and we’re re-tweaking our plan in terms of what we’re going for and asking the community for,” said Joelle Magyar, the Avon Lake City School District superintendent.
The third option includes an $8 million operating levy, with no additional bond issue for new construction. It would cost voters an estimated $184 per $100,000 of appraised home value.School board members could also choose not to present a proposal to voters in May.Magyar said all of the district’s buildings will need repair or replacement in the coming years, which, despite budget reductions, will be difficult to afford.
