Education Thursday, July 19, 2012 Cleveland mayor says "the truth" will sell a massive tax increase Cleveland schools will ask for a $77 million tax increase to fund a major transformation by WKSU's KEVIN NIEDERMIER |
 Reporter Kevin Niedermier | | |
 | | Cleveland Teachers Union President David Quolke joined Mayor Frank Jackson and schools CEO Eric Gordon in signing off on a major school overhaul. |
In The Region: The city of Cleveland is getting ready to sell a major school tax increase to voters. The school board is asking voters to approve a new levy in November that will mean an extra $77 million for the district. That would pay for a sweeping reform plan that includes remaking failing schools and lengthening school days.
Mayor Frank Jackson, who heads the district, says “the truth” will be the campaign theme for selling the levy and the truth is that the district has been making progress. |
“But it’s only been incremental and the benefit of that progress has not been for all of the children. This plan, along with the legislative reform, the financial support that we’re asking for in the levy and the full implementation next year will allow us to provide the greatest progress in terms of education their children and get(ting) it done now.”
The proposed increase would cost the average homeowner an extra $300 a year.
About 20 dollars of that would go to charter schools that partner with the district. School CEO Eric Gordon says if the levy fails, the district would probably face a $50 million shortfall next year. He says that would mean hundreds more layoffs and other cuts.
