Olentangy Schools will be on the March ballot due to continued enrollment growth. Frequently asked questions are being addressed in board meetings and at Community Conversations, and answers to these questions are continuously added to the levy information web page. We strongly encourage all voters and members of our community to learn the facts about the ballot issue.
To address the forecasted 20% student enrollment growth over the next ten years, Olentangy Schools will be on the March 19, 2024 ballot with a combined 4.25-mill levy that includes three parts:
- A "no additional millage" bond package that authorizes the district to seek up to $350 million in bond proceeds to construct five new schools;
- 3.00 continuing operating mills; and
- 1.25 continuing permanent improvement mills
