Poland school district voters to face 3.8-mill additional levy in March
TweetPoland school district voters to face 3.8-mill additional levy in March

School officials are hoping the third time is the charm.
After two additional levies were defeated in November 2010 and May 2011, voters on March 6 will decide a 3.8-mill, five-year additional emergency operating levy that would generate $1,448,561 annually.
When all factors are taken into account, the levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $91.88 annually, said Anthony Magnetta, Mahoning County deputy auditor.
Magnetta said the annual cost of a 3.8-mill levy for an owner of a house valued at $100,000 is $116.38. However, the district is paying off a 0.8-mill bond levy, making the net effect a 3.0-mill levy, he added.
A 3.0-mill levy would cost $105 annually on a home valued at $100,000, and once tax rollbacks are accounted for that amount drops to $91.88 annually, Magnetta said.

Good luck with that! Lol
I will be voting NO on this or any other levy Poland schools puts on the ballot. They must learn to live within their budget PERIOD!!!!!!!
Please vote yes i would like to retire in my early 50' with four times what social security will pay the people paying for all this for the next 40 yrs!
Thank you!
Administrators still pay 0% towards their health care coverage and 0% towards their 24% STRS contribution. Dwindling enrollment need to close an elementary school. There is less enrollment now than when Poland Union was closed in the late 80's early 90's. 15 kids per class room at Poland North today......
NO! That is the only logical choice for this un-necessary levy! Let the school union employees pay for their healthcare like the rest of us do. It's not about the kids anymore.
The teachers unions continue to refuse to accept the necessary wage and benefit cuts to bring spending into alignment with revenues. They think free health care and retirement at 52 with 30 years in, is the norm and they deserve to have better than those footing the bills. Vote no.
