Superintendents thrilled with levy passages
By Scott Halasz - shalasz@aimmediamidwest.com
XENIA Don’t be shocked if you see some area superintendents doing cartwheels through their buildings this week.
Voters in the Beavercreek, Bellbrook-Sugarcreek, and Xenia school districts unofficially passed crucial property tax levies Tuesday, providing funding for day-to-day operations and a new middle school.
In Xenia, the fifth time was the charm as voters finally gave the OK for a new Warner Middle School. The district had been trying to pass some type of middle school levy since November 2016, when it went for a combined HS/MS complex. The levies failed four times prior to Tuesday.
All levies pass, changing schools’ outlooks Jeremy P. Kelley
The Bellbrook, Xenia and Beavercreek school districts are making new plans for the coming years because voters changed course Tuesday, approving tax levies after previous rejections.
All 10 school levies in the five-county Dayton area were approved just the second time in the past dozen years that there were no rejections. School levy passage was up slightly statewide as well. The Ohio School Boards Association reported that 68% of all school levies passed (up from 64% in November), including 50% of new/additional tax requests (up from 38%).
Voter turnout was dramatically different from November’s levies, which shared the ballot with the presidential election, to Tuesday’s quiet ballots on a rainy day. November turnout was 83% in Bellbrook and 81% in Beavercreek, but fell to 43% and 32%, respectively.
Warner Middle School levy passes
XENIA Xenia will be getting a new middle school.
By 194 votes, residents in the school district unofficially approved a 2.3-mill property tax levy will raise $36.2 million to allow the district to replace the aging Warner Middle School building. It will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $6.71 per month according to district officials.
The unofficial results released by the Greene County Board of Elections show 2,142 voted for the levy and 1,948 voted against. Voters in the district also approved the renewal of a permanent improvement levy, 2,483-1,615.
The 1.3-mill PI levy, which raises $450,000 annually costs the owner of a $100,000 home $13.16 per year and is not a new tax.
