The Twinsburg Board of Education voted unanimously Wednesday to send a 6.9-mill renewal levy before the voters in May.
The Twinsburg Board of Education voted unanimously Wednesday to send a 6.9-mill renewal levy before the voters in May. According to the Summit County Fiscal Officer, the levy is expected to collect about $4.4 million annually. The renewal levy would not raise new money from taxpayers, it would simply continue taxes they are already paying. Without the levy, the schools would be out that $4.4 million annually and would have to again discuss operational and instructional cuts. The schools have already cut positions and raised fees to improve the district's budget picture. "If this levy were not to pass, we would actually be going backwards," said Board member Ron Stuver earlier this month. The operating levy was first approved in 1993 and …

In order to get on the November ballot, a board vote on the levy would have to be made this summer
Now that the final changes have been approved to the Twinsburg City School District's 2012-13 school year budget, the discussion will likely move to a new levy. “The final piece of this puzzle is going to be asking the taxpayers for new money,” Board Member David Andrews said Wednesday, after the board finalized nearly $3.3 million in cuts and new revenue. Board President Ron Stuver said the board will be looking at a few things in May before they start seriously talking about a new levy. The board will examine the results of the Ohio Department of Education's audit of the last five-year forecast and also look at the newest forecast, which includes how the recent changes are implemented. "I want to see how those numbers are crunched by our…
