Valley Central board advances $10.37 million capital proposition, presents $139.7 million budget with 2.98% levy increase
Summary
Board heard a detailed capital‑project presentation and agreed to place a proposed $10.37 million renovation and water‑system package on the May ballot; the administration presented a $139.7 million recommended budget with a 2.98% tax‑levy increase and described funding sources intended to limit taxpayer impact.
Valley Central School District officials presented a $10.37 million capital‑project proposal and the superintendent’s recommended 2026–27 budget during the March 23 board meeting, and the board adopted resolutions to place the project and related propositions on the May ballot.
The district’s architect described a scope focused on performing‑arts upgrades (stage curtains, lighting and sound) at multiple elementary and middle schools, replacement of aging water storage and treatment systems at Berea and the high school, and repairs to high‑school stage flooring and building mechanical systems. Dion Miller of CS Arch said the total scope estimate of eligible work is about $9.8 million, and with contingencies the district plans to bond up to $10,370,000. "The estimate, including all the financing and contingencies, would be just a little bit over 10,000,000 — $10,370,000," Miller said.
