Centerville schools approve levy for November ballot

CENTERVILLE, Ohio (WDTN) — During a special meeting on Thursday, the Board of Education approved a levy to appear on the ballot in November.

The Centerville Board of Education held a special meeting on Aug. 1. During the meeting, the Board approved a resolution to place a levy on the Nov. 5 ballot.

The proposed 3.9-mill operating levy would generate $11.2 million each year for the district’s ongoing operating expenses. The funds will allow Centerville Schools to maintain current educational programs and keep up with rising costs of day-to-day expenses.

Two earlier requests were rejected by voters, prompting district leadership to make cuts. The district has made $3.5 million in reductions going into the 2024-2025 school year. Cost-saving measures are impacting staffing, transportation, field trips, the school calendar and student fees.
