No New Tax Levy on November Ballot
On June 22, the Firelands Board of Education voted unanimously to consolidate our two existing emergency levies that expire in 2021 into one substitute levy. The 5.98 mil, 10 year substitute levy will be on the November 3rd ballot. Consolidating our two
existing emergency levies into one substitute levy will not
increase YOUR taxes, but it will allow Firelands Local School District
to benefit from the growth of new construction in our community. Approval of this levy is critical to ensuring our district provides high quality programs in our academic offerings, the arts and athletics.
The first year of
the Substitute Levy will generate the exact amount of revenue as the two
Emergency Levies that it is replacing. After that, the only increase in
revenue the district will see will be from new construction that will also be
taxed at the same rate.
Our two Emergency Levies will be combined into one Substitute Levy. For questions or more information, please contact Keri Angney, Treasurer or Mike Von Gunten, Superintendent at 965-5821.
