Claymont board authorizes appeal over 4.2‑mill reallocation to Ohio tax board
Summary
The Claymont City Board of Education unanimously authorized legal counsel to appeal the Tuscarawas County Budget Commission’s Feb. 9 decision unless the commission acknowledges the board’s April 14, 2025 reallocation of 4.2 mills for permanent improvements by March 1, 2026.
The Claymont City Board of Education voted unanimously on Feb. 9 to authorize legal counsel to file an appeal with the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals if the Tuscarawas County Budget Commission does not acknowledge the board’s April 14, 2025 reallocation of 4.2 mills of inside millage for permanent improvements by March 1, 2026.
The resolution was introduced as an addendum and approved on roll call after Mrs. Host moved and Ms. Campbell seconded. The motion’s text directs counsel to appeal the Commission’s Feb. 9 decision that failed to recognize the board’s reallocation unless the Commission acts by the March 1 deadline.
Board members recorded unanimous votes in favor. The appeal authorization reflects the board’s effort to secure recognition of millage reallocation that the district says is intended for permanent improvements. No legal filings had been submitted during the meeting; the resolution only authorizes counsel to proceed if the commission does not act by March 1, 2026.
The action appears intended to preserve the district’s funding position while administrators continue planning for capital needs and potential facility consolidation pending the outcome of the tax‑related dispute.
