Cuyahoga Falls board approves resolution to renew 7.9‑mill levy, signs MOU with teachers
Summary
The board approved a resolution to seek renewal of a 7.9‑mill levy for current expenses and authorized a memorandum of understanding with the Cuyahoga Falls Education Association to allow middle school scheduling flexibility next year; the levy certification will be forwarded to the Summit County fiscal officer.
The Cuyahoga Falls City School District board voted to place a renewal resolution for a 7.9‑mill tax levy on the district’s list of matters requiring county certification and approved a memorandum of understanding with the Cuyahoga Falls Education Association to permit scheduling flexibility at the middle school level.
President Gomez introduced the levy resolution and said the board would request Summit County fiscal officer Chris Sully to make required certifications under state law. The resolution cites statutory certification requirements under Ohio law and seeks to renew an existing 7.9‑mill levy for current expenses; the board moved and approved the resolution by roll call.
Separately, the board approved a memorandum of understanding with the teachers’ association that staff characterized as providing limited flexibility for middle school scheduling next year. Board members said the MOU does not tie the district’s hands long term and thanked association representatives for cooperating on the pilot scheduling change.
Next steps: the district will forward the resolution to the Summit County fiscal officer for required certification and will implement the MOU details in coordination with association leadership if the pilot proceeds.
