With Fall sports just around the corner we are excited to share our new athletic pass packages as well as our sponsorship opportunities. One of our biggest goals this year was to ensure all our students got into all athletic events free with an accompanying adult. We hope you will help support our athletic department and keep up the strong tradition of support for our student athletes. If you have any questions on sponsorships or to purchase passes please reach out Brock Stewart our Athletic Director at bstewart@easternlocal.net or call at 740-985-3329 .

Eastern Local is always looking for strong community partners to help with many different aspects of school including Coaching, PTO work, and day to day volunteer work with students. If you are able and have interest in helping at the school reach out to the school office. All volunteers would need a background check and board approval prior to working with students. We encourage anyone interested in volunteering to go through the process to get your sub license. This opens even more doors to get involved at school and be a part of the Eastern Eagle Family. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Fall Sports are back in action this week. Go Eagles!

We still have one more chance at the levy this fall. The levy is a total renovation of both buildings. The first try we attempted to add a competition gym and locker rooms, but that has been taken off of the scope of the project, and the total cost to our taxpayers has been cut in half. Many of the projects (much like the drain lines we did this summer) including new roof on the elementary, and HVAC replacements will have to be done whether the levy passes or not. If the levy would pass, these projects would get done along with many others and the state would pay for the majority of the project. If you have questions or you know someone who does have them reach out to me or look at the Levy FAQ page on the website. I will update it with the information for the fall election, but wanted to leave the site up so people who had questions could look at it. https://www.easternlocal.com/page/levy-faq
Why not an Income Tax Levy
I have been asked why the district does not do another type of levy such as an income tax levy.
This was definitely something that we explored, and based on the costs to the average homeowner in our district it was much more expensive then a property tax levy. Many people also don’t realize, but many retirees' benefits are eligible for income tax as well.
An income tax would be significantly more expensive for the average taxpayer in our district. Overall, an income tax would cost the average taxpayer in the district $548.80 per year. The property tax will cost the average homeowner in the district $235.93 per year. For residents 65 or older who qualify for the Homestead Exemption, the average cost would be $195.58 per year.
This is due to a number of factors illustrated in the table below:
