Elyria City Schools needs our votes FOR Issue 19 – a critical levy on the May 2025 Primary Election ballot – to keep preparing Elyria students for successful futures.
Issue 19: Necessary to Continue Preparing Elyria Students for the Future
Issue 19 is a 10-year, 4.9-mill emergency levy that, if approved, would raise $6.4 million per year to support the district’s operations. It funds the programs and training that enrich Elyria students’ education and provide skills they need for college and/or careers.​
​
Because the Elyria City Schools asks only for what it needs, Issue 19 represents the first request for new operations funding in 15 years.
​​​
This is due to Elyria City Schools’ excellent fiscal stewardship, which has resulted in 20+ consecutive clean audit awards from the Auditor of State and earning the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association every year since 1998.​​
Elyria Schools offer quality education and strong support to put students on the best path for their futures. Vote for Issue 19 on or before May 6 to continue this and prevent damaging cuts.
Elyria City Schools has cut costs to stretch the budget for years, including streamlining low-attendance programs and restructuring administrative positions. Now, our district needs our support.
​
Vote for Issue 19 to prevent disastrous reductions that would disrupt learning and gravely impact our schools and community.
