From the County Commissioners Association of Ohio:
As reported by the Ohio Department of Education, just 46.1% of the school tax issues on the March 4 primary ballot passed. That passage rate is the lowest for a primary election in the last 25 years, according to the Education Tax Policy Institute. The approval rate in the last two primaries was 54.3% in 2007 and 58.8% in 2006.
But will school boards learn anything from this other than that they must 'scare' people more in order to gain passage???

Maggie,
Why would any school board choose to learn anything when they can continue to go back election after election until they get the money that they are after. Perhaps if these losses meant that they couldn't go back for oh, say 18 months, they would either do their homework and selling better or learn how to live on a dwindling budget.
... we are
That is actually much higher than I thought it would be.
