Ohio voters approve funds and face school funding lawsuit
Polls show a narrow margin result with officials still reviewing. Summit County districts failed a sales tax to raise 90 million annually for 17 districts while Akron Public Schools pushed a 770 million construction plan needing 284 million local money first. Voters in Columbus and Dayton approved similar bonds totaling several hundred million for new and renovated schools. The Ohio Supreme Court may soon resolve the 11 year old school funding suit as the department notes local factors influence outcomes.
