From the Levy@list.chuhschools-yes.org list:

As reported today in the Plain Dealer, this past weekend levy opponents
began circulating petitions to repeal the 8.5 mill levy passed this March.

We are still researching the law on repeal petitions and will update you as
soon as we can send you accurate information.
While repeals are rarely successful, we would still need to run an
aggressive campaign to keep this one from becoming so. So much for our
vacation from levy campaigning.

When talking with friends and neighbors, it is important to alert them to
the serious nature of this petition. Because we failed to pass a levy in
2003, the school board has cut $6 million permanently from the school
budget--cuts that have caused real pain in losing good teachers, increasing
class size, and decreasing vital services such as school social workers.

I still don't get how people can refuse to support our local schools. The public schools serve everyone who comes through their doors - long time residents, transients, kids with special needs. I guess many people just don't realize that we're all in this together. Our American me-first mentality is going to kill this country.

Mean people suck. Do not sign the petition, vote against repeal if it comes up. And let's turn over the Ohio State congress, get some people in there who will address school funding instead of worrying about keeping marriage safe for straight people.
