Renewal of permanent improvement levy on May 6 ballot

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, April 6, 2014

On Tuesday, May 6, Ada school district voters will cast ballots on the renewal of a permanent improvement levy. The levy was oroginally approved in January 1990.

According to Ohio law, permanent improvement monies are placed in a separate fund from the general fund and may only be used for items that are more “permanent” — lasting five years or more.
