Youngstown school board delays action on levy
YOUNGSTOWN
Youngstown Board of Education took no action at its meeting Tuesday to place a renewal of the school district’s 10.7-mill property tax levy on the November ballot.
However, board President Brenda Kimble said she expects to call a special meeting within the next few days to further discuss the four-year levy, which generates $5,291,510 per year and costs the owner of a $50,000 home $164 annually. It was originally passed in 2008 and renewed in 2012.
But, said Kimble, “I can’t support putting a levy on the ballot without the financial data to back up the need.”
