How could the county-by-county election results affect Cincinnati Public Schools?

Likely What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

The approval or rejection of the proposed tax levy directly determines the school district's operating funding. The election results determine whether Cincinnati Public Schools can approve a proposed five-year, 7-mill operating tax levy. If the levy passes, it is expected to generate about $66.3 million annually over five years, helping cover rising costs and preserve programs like the Montessori program. If the levy fails, the district leaders warned that there are potential consequences for staff and students, including the elimination of existing programming.
