Claymont board authorizes appeal over 4.2-mill reallocation dispute
Summary
The Claymont City Board of Education unanimously authorized legal counsel to appeal a Tuscarawas County Budget Commission decision that did not acknowledge the district’s April 14, 2025 reallocation of 4.2 mills of inside millage for permanent improvements. The board set a March 1, 2026 deadline for the commission to act before filing.
The Claymont City Board of Education voted unanimously Feb. 9, 2026, to authorize legal counsel to file an appeal with the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals after the Tuscarawas County Budget Commission did not acknowledge the board’s April 14, 2025 reallocation of 4.2 mills of inside millage for permanent improvements.
Mrs. Host moved to add the resolution as an agenda addendum and Ms. Campbell seconded; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all five members in favor. The resolution directs counsel to file an appeal unless the commission takes action by March 1, 2026 acknowledging the reallocation.
The action was presented to the board twice in the meeting: first as an agenda addendum and then under New Business where the board formally approved the identical resolution. The board recorded the 4.2 mills figure and the April 14, 2025 reallocation date as the operative facts underlying the appeal.
No public comments or staff presentations opposing the appeal were recorded in the minutes. The board’s motion and vote concluded the item; the minutes do not record any amendment or limitation on filing the appeal.
