Which school tax issues are the most successful?

OSBA has been tracking school levy success since November 2002. The levies below are first listed by alphabetical order, then in order of success.

To learn which school districts won or lost a particular type of levy, click on the blue number to the left of the levy name.

Please note that these numbers do not correspond to those used by the Ohio Department of Education on it Web site. Levy names have evolved the past five years and every effort was made to accurately track each levy. If a levy result as reported is wrong, please contact Scott Ebright at s_ebright@osba-ohio.org.

If you wish to analyze this levy data in a different manner, a searchable database is posted on OSBA's Web site. It can be reached by clicking here.
