Elyria to seek 7.9-mill three-year school levy
Elyria City School Board approved placing a 7.9-mill three-year emergency levy on the May ballot. The levy would raise about 4.38 million dollars per year, though district projections show a 1.7 million dollar deficit in 1989-90 even with the levy. Superintendent William Halverson says cost cuts and staffing changes, including hiring fewer first-year teachers and rethinking insurance, could help avoid shortfalls while maintaining current programs.
