FOR THE TAX LEVY
AGAINST THE TAX LEVY

Summary Prepared by League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area:
The Cincinnati Board of Education voted in August to place a permanent improvement levy of 7.95 mills on the November 8 ballot. If passed, the levy will generate approximately $49.5 million for the Cincinnati Public Schools and will last for a "continuing period of time." The Board president said that these additional funds are to be used for "technology, software, textbooks and other improvements with a life of at least five years." Levy proceeds will not be used for personnel costs.

The levy would mean an increase of $243 annually for the owner of a home valued at $100,000.
