Perrysburg Schools asking voters to pass operational levy on election day

PERRYSBURG, Ohio — With six weeks to go until Election Day, Perrysburg Schools will be asking voters to approve an incremental operating levy.

It's something district Superintendent Tom Hosler says is different from the last two 'no' votes at the polls, which were bond issues.

"This is money that is used for staff, to keep the lights on, to keep fuel in the buses, to buy buses," Hosler said. "The previous ballot issues were bond issues, so that was to build new buildings."

Perrysburg last passed an operating levy in 2019 and it expires in December. It annually collects $13.5 million from taxpayers for day-to-day operating expenses, which Hosler says is less than 20% of the district's $72 million yearly operating budget.
