Medina County sees school taxes lag behind income and property hikes
County Supt Homer Smith says rising incomes and property values have outpaced school funding over nine years. New millage across districts averages 4.7 mills, with Black River, Brunswick, Cloverleaf and Wadsworth raising millages to balance budgets. The Medina district approved 6.35 mills, effective in 1979, while Buckeye and Medina had no new operating millage in the period.
