Amherst voters turn down a school levy
The 5AM Lorain team
If you're in the Amherst Exempted Village School District, the operating levy failed Tuesday, with all precincts reporting. Provisional ballots still remain to be counted. Cleveland.com reported early Tuesday night that the district was on track for its third failed attempt in a year to win new operating money, and the vote came after $13 million in cuts.
- Would have raised: about $5.8 million a year, continuing levy
- Cost: $209 per $100,000 of county auditor's market value
- Early count: 57% opposed, before the 19 precincts reported
- Last November: a 1.5% earned income tax drew 62% against
These are unofficial election results.
$5.8 milliona year the continuing levy would have raised for operations
The levy would have cost homeowners $209 for each $100,000 of the county auditor's market value.
