If you live in the Toledo Public Schools district, Issue 9 passed, according to preliminary results late Tuesday night. WTVG reported the levy is expected to generate more than $22 million annually to cover current expenses and help fund a transformation plan. WTOL's live results page described it as a five-year levy for current operating expenses.
Superintendent Romulus Durant pointed to rising operational costs, inflation and state funding cuts as reasons for the request. The district's “Transformation 2.0” plan aims to close a multi-million budget gap.
