Marysville school board places emergency tax levy on November ballot

MARYSVILLE, Ohio — The Marysville Exempted Village School District could reduce or eliminate a significant number of staffing and extracurricular activities for students if a new emergency levy doesn’t pass in November.

Last week, the Marysville Board of Education approved a 5.5 mill tax levy to be placed on the Nov. 5 ballot.

The school board says the district is facing a projected deficit spending in the next five years because of rising costs, increasing enrollment and losing key funding. The district’s last new money levy was passed in 2008.

Marysville Schools had a levy on the ballot last year but was rejected by voters. That levy would have helped the district avoid a more than $9.6 million operating deficit.
