Elyria Eyes Continuous Levy For Schools Under New State Law
Superintendent Smittle argues the proposed continuous operating levy will fund public schools under a new state law. He notes large classes in crowded schools like Wind sor, and says Elyria cannot tap the city income tax. State reimbursement falls short for driver education and bus service, with only about five percent for new auxiliary services and materials. He warns that weakening the system harms both public and parochial schools.
