Recap, March 14th School Board Meeting
Paid for by the Committee to Support Green Schools, Michael Trinko, Treasurer, 4426 Provens Drive, Akron, Oh 44319
The School Board is required by Law to present a
balanced budget to the Ohio Department of
Education.
The Administration and Board anticipated a 25%
cut in State funding. We now know that Governor
Kasich s budget cuts our State funding by 27%.
Issue 8, a five year Emergency Operating Levy for
$4.8 million annually, or 6.75 mills has been placed
on the May 3rd 2011 Primary/Special Election. Since
the 25% projection is very close to the 27% reality
this Levy will meet our Schools needs.

Recap, March 14th School Board Meeting
Paid for by the Committee to Support Green Schools, Michael Trinko, Treasurer, 4426 Provens Drive, Akron, Oh 44319
Even with passage of the Levy some actions will
occur. Kleckner will close, a pay to participate fee
will be enacted and there will be a 22 teacher
reduction in force.
If the Levy fails an additional 55 teachers and a total
of 104 employees will be let go. Educational
offerings and bussing will be reduced to the state
minimum, and pay to participate fees will be
increased significantly.
