West Clermont School Board seeks Sept. 26 special levy election
The West Clermont school board calls a special election September 26 for an eight mill levy to fund more teachers and salaries, reduce debt, and offset funds lost to property revaluation. Clerk Fibyd Weaver notes district salaries trail area competitors and enrollment is rising. The levy would exceed last year’s $336,000 on $42 million property value, with final figures set after this year’s revaluation. The board says state relief has not materialized, so they must shoulder the burden to maintain quality education.
