Elyria district levy polling highlights survey gaps
Eve Lyn France, school board president, urged continued effort to secure a levy passage. A free telephone survey by Lorain County Community College’s Public Services Institute polled 306 registered voters, mainly 55 plus, white, with no district family, finding 57 percent would vote yes in February while 59 percent had backed it in November. The margin of error was about 5.5 percent. Respondents who voted no cited mismanagement, high taxes, and the 1996 Elyria West High closure. Residents want clearer spending details from the district.
