Cincinnati Voters to Decide on $66.3M Public School Tax Levy
What happened
Cincinnati voters are scheduled to decide in November on Issue 4, a property tax levy that is projected to raise $66.3 million per year for Cincinnati Public Schools. If approved, this would be the first new operating levy for the district in nearly a decade. Campaigning for the levy is currently taking place in Avondale.

Why it matters
Supporters of the levy argue that the funding is critical to maintaining the financial stability of Cincinnati Public Schools. A parent stated the money is needed to help close a growing funding gap and replace some funding that Ohio has withdrawn in recent years.
