What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Kanawha County voters approved a levy renewal on October 23, 2026. This levy is a continuation, not a new tax, and the levy rates will not change. The renewal, which runs from July 1, 2029, through June 30, 2034, provides approximately $67 million annually to Kanawha County Schools. If the levy had failed, the district would have lost this funding starting in fiscal year 2030.
