South Euclid-Lyndhurst board approves sending corrected 7.9-mill levy to voters
Summary
At a Aug. 5 special work session, the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Board of Education approved a corrected amended resolution to place an additional 7.9-mill property tax levy before district electors, citing a state House bill change that required dollar-precise figures. Trustees also approved prior meeting minutes and moved into executive session for A1 appointments.
The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Board of Education voted Aug. 5 to submit a corrected amended resolution asking district electors to approve an additional 7.9-mill property tax levy.
Speaker 2, speaking during the discussion of Item 3.1, recommended approval of the "corrected copy of the amended copy of the resolution, allowing us to submit to the electors of the school district the question of an additional levy 7.9 mill tax levy." The board approved the motion by roll call; Miss Falkenberg, Mrs. King, Miss Lee and Mrs. Shelby were recorded as voting "Aye."
The board discussed why the resolution was reissued. Speaker 2 explained, "The reason we're redoing this is because there was a house bill that passed in April that the, budget commission for the auditor's office wasn't aware of. That was a difference of instead of rousing rounding it to the thousandth, the proposed amount that you will receive, it has to be to the dollar amount now. And so they had to reissue everybody's, yes." That explanation framed the corrective action as administrative: updated guidance from a state-level change required producing levy figures rounded to the dollar rather than to the nearest thousand.
Earlier in the session the board handled routine business: Speaker 1 introduced Item 2.1 and moved to approve the minutes of the July 22, 2025 regular meeting. After a motion and second and no public comment, the minutes were approved by roll call.
At the end of the public portion of the meeting, Speaker 1 moved that the board adjourn into executive session "for the purpose of A1 appointments." The motion was seconded, the time was recorded as 5:50 p.m., and the board responded in the affirmative to enter executive session.
No further details about the content of the A1 appointments or any changes to the levy language beyond what was summarized were discussed on the public record. The corrected amended levy resolution will be the question presented to district electors as approved by the board at this session.
