South Euclid-Lyndhurst board approves corrected resolution to place 7.9-mill levy before voters

The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Board of Education on Aug. 5 unanimously approved a corrected amended resolution to place an additional 7.9-mill property tax levy on the ballot for district electors.

The corrected resolution was needed after a change in state requirements, a meeting participant said, that requires levy projections be stated to the dollar rather than rounded to the thousandth. A district staff member recommended approval of the corrected resolution to allow the question to be submitted to voters. The board voted by roll call, with members recorded as voting "aye."

Board members did not debate the levy amount at length during the special work session. A participant clarified that the change followed a House bill passed in April and that county budget or auditor offices asked districts to reissue levy paperwork to reflect the new dollar-level calculations. No specific statute or bill number was provided in the meeting record.
