What happened
Wauseon Exempted Village Schools is asking voters to renew a 1.75% earned income tax levy and make it permanent this November. Superintendent Keith Leatherman stated that this tax, which represents about 18% of the district’s revenue, is needed to provide stability amid expected state funding cuts. The levy funds staffing, busing, and all operating expenses.

Why it matters
The district is also facing the expiration of an emergency property tax levy at the end of 2027. Without the continued earned income tax or the emergency levy, the district projects it will have to begin deficit spending, leading to a negative balance by fiscal year 2031.
