Board votes to place 6.7‑mill property tax levy on the ballot
Summary
The Strongsville City Board of Education voted to submit a five‑year, 6.7‑mill property tax levy to district voters, estimating $235 per $100,000 of market value; the motion passed on roll call after public comment and board debate over alternatives.
The Strongsville City Board of Education voted July 30 to submit an additional 6.7‑mill property tax levy to the electors for five years, estimating $235 per $100,000 of county fiscal‑officer market value. Chair read the resolution and, after a motion by Missus Bissle and a second by Mister Wall, the motion passed on roll call.
Board discussion before the vote weighed the property‑tax option against a proposed school income tax. Several board members said property tax is more familiar to voters and more equitable across property and business owners. The resolution was read into the record as "an additional 6.7 mil and valorem property tax outside of the 10 mil limitation for the purpose of current expenses," and the board approved the motion on a recorded roll call.
