ACWHCC Board of Education Approves Two Levies for Fall Ballot

Voters in Ashland County and part of Holmes County will see a pair of levies on the fall ballot for the Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center. The Career Center Board of Education voted Thursday (May 17) at its regular meeting to put renewals of a three-year, 1.0 mill operating levy and a five-year, 0.5 mill permanent improvement levy on the November ballot.

The operating levy helps pay for a significant part of the school's general operations while part of the money from the permanent improvement levy helps pay for several energy-saving equipment retrofits that were done over the last three or four years. Both issues expire at the end of 2013. November is the first opportunity to put them back on the ballot.
