CORTLAND, Ohio - Voters in the Lakeview Local School District voted down two additional levies on the November ballot.

The additional 5.85 mill levy would have covered daily operations and paid salaries. The superintendent told 21 News in October that teachers in Lakeview are among the lowest paid within the Mahoning Valley. Voters shot down the levy with 62% going against it.

The 5.85 mill levy would've run for 10 years.

The additional 1 mill levy would cover school safety and security and the costs to keep their two school resource officers in the district. It would also pay to have cameras installed in all school buses. Voters also denied this levy with 58% voting no.

This levy would run for 5 years starting in 2023.

School administrators say they've been operating on funding from taxes that were tabulated in 2010 and with high inflation, costs have gone way up since that time.

"We've been able to manage it," Lakeview Treasurer Sean Miller told 21 News back in October. "Going in to this year we've made some significant staffing cuts and cuts in other things and we still need these funds just to make up for that additional revenue we have not received."

Both levies failed back in May with 59 percent of voters against it - the first time in a decade that the district asked for additional tax dollars.

If passed, the new levies would cost the owner of a home worth $100,000 an extra $20 a month if passed.
