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.
Because the levy is a renewal it is not a new tax or a tax increase. The 2.90 mills are included in property taxes, according to Connie Fleming, chair of Advancing Ada Schools levy committee.
Several programs of interest to parents and caregivers of pre-school youth in Ada take place in April and May.
Kindergarten information meeting
