About the Renewal Levy...

The Ashland Co.-West Holmes Career Center will have a 1/2 mil (0.5) Permanent Improvement Levy Renewal on the ballot in Novem-
ber. The purpose of the levy renewal is for general permanent improvement to the building, grounds, equipment, and instructional materials.
Improvements including purchases like asphalt sealing and replacement, roof maintenance and repair, maintenance of district-owned utili-
ties, instructional and technology equipment, textbooks, and classroom and lab renovations. Furthermore, the funds brought by the renewal
of the levy will help the Center offer new programs to meet the needs of more students and adjust to the shifting workforce needs of our re-
gion.

The Permanent Improvement Levy was originally requested and approved in 1983 and the district has administered it responsibly without
the need for an increase. The levy has been supported by voters with every request for renewal. Because of the levy's long history and the
district's fiscal vigilance, we are asking voters to renew the levy for a continuing period of time. Not requiring the district to bring the levy
back to voters every five years will save the district costly election fees.
