Levy Information Summary
At the recent Levy Community Forum, one of the questions we received was whether we could provide a short summary of the information that was shared about the levy coming up on November 4th.
To help with that, we’ve created a one page document (front and back) that outline the key points of the levy and what it means for our district.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We appreciate the continued support and engagement from our community as we work together to provide the best facilities and opportunities for our students.

October 20th through 24th is National School Bus Safety Week. This Year's Theme is " Safe Stops. Stronger Communities." That said, we ask you to always be on the lookout for our students as they wait for the bus in the morning, or exit the bus in the evening.
Of particular importance, are those students who must cross the roadway in front of the bus. We ask you as parents, to support our drivers by reminding your children never to attempt to cross in front of the bus without making eye contact with the driver, and waiting for him/her to signal it is safe to proceed. Children also need to know that if the driver blows the horn, that means DANGER, STOP , and establish eye contact with the driver for further direction.
On a personal note: I would just like to share what alarms me and the other bus drivers almost as much as someone "Blowing through our Red Lights" when the bus is stopped. The number of distracted drivers we pass. I invite you to do your own personal survey. Take a look at 10 different on coming drivers and keep track how many had their head in their phone, or phone on the steering wheel, or head turned away looking at their "Hands Free" device.................pretty disturbing isn't it?................. it only takes 1. Before cell phones and pagers.....it could wait.........it can still wait...............
Please....... Be Safe.

Understanding the Cost of the Eastern Local Facilities Levy
One of the questions that came up during our recent Levy Community Forum was how to calculate the personal cost if the levy passes.
To help explain this, Eastern Local Treasurer Mr. Rose has created a short video walking viewers step-by-step through the calculation process:
Watch the video here
https://youtu.be/mDydQub8zxc?feature=shared
We’ve heard a wide range of numbers discussed in the community, but we want to make sure everyone has accurate information. Eastern Local has been very conservative with taxes—we haven’t asked for an increase in over 25 years—and we take this request seriously.
With the State of Ohio offering to fund 75% of our facilities renovation project, this levy would allow our community to secure the remaining 25%. We felt it was important to give our district this opportunity.
