Delaware County voters on Tuesday approved three ballot requests from the Olentangy School District.
The district's request appeared on the ballot in three parts: an operating levy, an improvement levy and a bond issue for three new schools. Voters approved the levies by a margin of 57-43%.
Olentangy Schools because of their growing student population and relatively low state funding.
"I am proud of our community for recognizing that strong schools are essential to our collective well-being," Superintendent Mark T. Raiff said in a statement. "The One Olentangy spirit demonstrated by the community鈥檚 support is wonderful. Together we are paving the way for a successful future where our students and community continue to flourish."
It was the district鈥檚 10th ballot issue in 21 years. The levies will raise taxes by $277 a year for every $100,000 of home value.
