At their June 30, 2026 special meeting, the Board of Education approved resolutions regarding a potential ballot issue in the November 2026 general election. As a summary, the Board approved five (5) resolutions, which have been sent to either the Medina County Auditor (property tax options) or State of Ohio Tax Commissioner (income tax options) for certification, with the goal of Board deciding which one (1) of the five (5) options to proceed with in November at their next special meeting scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Monday, July 20 in the high school media center (625 Broad Street).  The resolutions approved are as follows:

• 0.75% earned income tax;
• 0.75% traditional income tax;
• 1.00% earned income tax;
• 7.9 mill property tax for five (5) years; and
• 7.9 mill property tax for a continuing period of time.

As a point of clarification, the earned income tax period is allowed by law to be between one (1) and five (5) years, or continuing, and the Board’s discussion on June 30 focused on a five (5) year period.  Although, unlike the initial property tax resolutions, a final decision on the length of time for an income tax does not need to be declared in a Board resolution until the second/final resolution to proceed to November is passed (if one (1) of the income tax options is selected by the Board on July 20).  

While our intent was to record the June 30 meeting for playback on WCTV, we found out after the meeting that we experienced an issue with the recording early in the meeting, a little past the sixteen (16) minute mark, and the remainder of the meeting (which totaled two (2) hours and nine (9) minutes, excluding the executive session) did not get recorded.  We apologize for this issue. Minutes from the June 30 meeting will be included in the July 20 special meeting materials that will be posted on the Board of Education’s website later this month.
