At the May 20, 2024 Special Meeting, the Board of Education took the first step to place a five year, 1 mill Permanent Improvement (PI) Levy on the November 2024 ballot. The Board anticipates taking action at the June 24, 2024, Regular Meeting to place it on the ballot.
PI Levy Facts:
● PI funds can be used for items such as school buses, repairs to roofs and parking lots, boilers, safety and security upgrades, classroom furniture, technology upgrades and improvements, wireless upgrades, etc., that have a life span of five years or more.
● Revenue from a PI Levy cannot be used for salaries, benefits, or the school district’s
day-to-day operations.
● Kenston is one of only 13% of school districts in Ohio that DOES NOT have some type of PI or Maintenance Levy.
● The levy would cost $2.92/month for each $100,000 of valuation.
● The levy would generate approximately 1.2 million dollars per year.
We thank you for your continued support of our schools and we will continue providing information as the Board of Education progresses with this process.
