School levies
The proposal calls for an initial 5 mill tax, followed by annual increases of 2.5 mills in years two through five, spanning from 2025-2029, according to the district. The proposed levy would fund daily, current operational expenses and maintain current academic offerings and student services.
As the buildings in the district near capacity, leaders have put a 4.46 mill bond levy on the ballot to provide funding for a new high school and other district projects. The district is seeking a $100 million bond issue. The projected levy is estimated to cost a Buckeye Valley homeowner $156 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value.
The Board of Education voted to place a $69.5 million bond issue on the ballot, which would go toward the construction of a new Stevenson Elementary School and improvements to the district's K-12 athletic complex. According to the district, the proposed project would be approximately 6.95 mills, equal to $243 per $100,000 of property valuation annually.
The proposed bond issue would provide the district with $78.3 million to construct, improve, furnish and equip three new middle schools and an addition to Groveport Madison High School if passed.
The 6.9 mill operating levy would generate funds for the day-to-day management of the district, like staffing, utilities and supplies. The bond issue would authorize the school district to issue $142 million in funding to replace and build three elementary schools, an additional preschool center, adding a third building for sixth graders and district-wide safety upgrades.
The district aims to secure funding through a bond issue to construct a new K-8 building. The district is requesting 4.3 mills, which equates to $151 per $100,000 of the council auditor's appraised value.
Voters in Marysville can expect to see a 5.5 mill emergency levy on the ballot on Election Day. Superintendent Diane Allen and the district’s treasurer, Todd Johnson said it would generate around $6.4 million annually, and allow the district to sustain its operations in the next five years.

Voters in Reynoldsburg will decide on a 6.65 mill emergency levy placed on the ballot by school leaders.
The money would be used for constructing school facilities and renovating, improving and constructing additions to buildings. The ballot measure does not specify what schools would be improved. The ballot measure states that the bonds would be up to $140 million that would be repaid annually over a maximum of 37 years.
The measure also includes two levies. One of them, a 1.66 mill levy, would amount to $58 for each $100,000 of the appraised value. It would help pay the annual debt charges on the bonds. The second levy, 4.9 mills, would pay for current operating expenses, according to the ballot measure. It would cost Westerville residents $172 for each $100,000 of the appraised value.
