The state Board of Education is holding off on the release of the report cards until an investigation is complete.
The release of Ohio’s school report cards will continue to be delayed while the state auditor investigates whether some districts manipulated attendance data. The state Board of Education on Tuesday decided to release some of the information to the public around the end of September, Ohio Department of Education Associate Director of Communications John Charlton said in an email. The data will not include attendance rates, performance index or overall ratings, and the board has not set a date to release the full report cards at this time. That means that Stow-Munroe Falls parents won’t know if their local school is still rated as “Excellent,” “Effective” or the like until much later in the school year. The ratings are usually released at …

The Stow-Munroe Falls Board of Education is expected to take the necessary steps toward putting a renewal levy that expires this year on the November ballot.
A five-year renewal levy is set to expire this year and the Stow-Munroe Falls Board of Education is expected to take the first of two steps toward getting it on the November ballot at the next meeting May 29. The emergency levy expiring this year generates $7.3 million annually at 7.3-mills. Bulgrin said passing the renewal levy, which is not a new tax, is "crucial." Bulgrin said the district will pursue the renewal levy for 10 years this time. The levy will still generate $7.3 million annually, but because of new mainly decreased property values, she said she is guessing the millage will be around 8. Even if the millage is increased, the amount each homeowner will pay will remain around the same, she said. During the May 29 meeting, the …

Superintendent Russ Jones was interviewed about why he thinks Issue 20, a 6.57-mill 10-year levy is crucial to pass for the community and district Nov. 8.
The Stow-Munroe Falls School District, for the second time this year, is asking for a 6.57-mill, 10-year operating levy (Issue 20) Nov. 8. Listen in on a radio interview about the levy between Superintendent Russ Jones and Akron News Now. Jones told Akron News Now passage of the levy would " ... put us in the black through five years and we'll continue to look at cost savings."
