Mathews places levy on November ballot

VIENNA

Mathews Board of Education unanimously approved placing a five-year emergency levy on the Nov. 6 ballot that would raise $680,000 each of the five years, if approved.

The amount of the levy is yet to be determined by the Trumbull County auditor, but district Treasurer Brian Stidham said he believes it will be 4 to 5 mills.

Superintendent Lewis Lowery said the district’s decision this summer to spend $140,000 on repairs to its septic system demanded by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency was just one of the expenditures that have necessitated submitting the levy to the voters.
