Canfield council supports upcoming school levies

CANFIELD — Mayor William Kay said its important that city council support the Canfield School District’s push to pass a 6.8-mill operating levy.

Kay asked council during tonight’s meeting to approve a resolution supporting the levy, which would bring in $3.8 million annually, for five years. Council approved the resolution 5-0 zero.

Also on the May ballot is a 1.6-mill emergency renewal levy that would sustain the district through fiscal year 2015. Levies of the same millage failed in November.

“Our schools are the very heart of the community,” Kay said. “As the schools go, so goes the community and property values.”
