The Midview Schools provide a quality education for all students and that quality makes our communities better because it offers strong futures for our children. While our students are accomplishing great things in and out of the classroom, our district is facing difficult financial struggles that threaten the quality of education.

The district has been fiscally responsible and has cut more than one million dollars from the budget, in fact Midview has the lowest per pupil instructional spending in the county.

Because property taxes in Ohio are frozen and don’t keep up with severe inflationary pressures, we are asking voters to approve a small issue that will allow us to keep the programs, teaches, and technology our kids need to succeed. It’s only a 2.5 mill issue for 5 years, legally called a Permanent Improvement Levy (PI).

PI can only pay for investments like up-to-date textbooks, modern classroom technology, maintained facilities and safe student transportation. By law, it cannot pay for salaries.

Without this 5 year PI, the district will need to cut an additional million dollars from the already bare bones budget. Since there is nowhere else to cut, the district will have to consider:

Those cuts would devastate our schools and would hurt our community.
