This morning. New numbers just coming into the newsroom from the school levies and bond issues on the Ohio ballot. First, let's go to Brooklyn where the district is looking to generate $20 million for building renovations. And as of right now, the bond measure has passed by just five votes. However, all of the mail in ballots have not been counted so the outcome could change. But this race is so close, it would trigger an automatic recount according to Ohio law. Wow. All right. And in Summit County, the lev levy for Nordonia Hills has failed. The district wanted voters to approve an operating and permanent improvement levy that would have generated more than $7 million annually for the district. On this morning, Medina City schools say they will have to make cuts after voters rejected their levy. Carmen is in the newsroom now with more on what this means for the district. Carmen. Good morning. Good morning to you, Dave. Yes. The funding was meant to help the district to address a growing budget deficit. According to unofficial Medina County board of election results. Uh Medina City school districts levy failed again by about 5% points over at the polls late last night. Uh Let's look at the results here with 47% voting for the levy's passing while the 53% of the voters cast their ballot against the measure. Now, if this tax levy would have passed approximately $14 million would have been generated annually for the district. Now, it looks like more cuts will follow the failed levy. Like staff cuts with the Medina city schools, with school resource officers, counseling services A P courses. Even bussing over at the high school, they could also increase elementary class sizes in addition to are proposed changes. Now, Dave, I just checked the district's website where they say that even if this levy passed, it would still need to make about 8 to $10 million in cuts over the next four years. And those major cuts already included staff while redistricting to consolidate resources and positions within the district. A lot of information there. All right, Carmen. Thank you.
