Stow-Munroe Falls School Board candidates Fred Bonacci, Pat Matthews (Incumbent, current president) and Kelly Toppin received a thumbs up from the Stow Teachers Association and the Stow-Munroe Falls Classified Association in the Nov. 8 election.

The 10-year levy would generate $6.5 million annually if passed by voters in November.
What: Issue 20: New money emergency 6.57-mill school levy Election Day: 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 8, 2011 History: A 6.57-mill 10-year levy would generate $6.5 million annually for the district and would cost the owner of $100,000 home: If passed, the first collection would be in 2012. Administrators say the levy is for 10 years instead of five to avoid voter fatigue. Argument For: With the cuts the Stow-Munroe Falls School District has made, passage of the levy would mean the district could remain in the black financially through 2015. High school busing would also be reinstated for high school students. The district has cut the budget and made concessions in all district employee two-year contracts, which is expected to save millions…

The Stow-Munroe Falls Board of Education unanimously voted to take the first step toward putting a levy on the ballot in the general election.
The Stow-Munroe Falls Board of Education decided Thursday to pursue the same levy that failed Aug. 2 in the upcoming general election. "I'm hoping that with school back in session, a lot of people we may have lost [Aug. 2] on vacation will be there to support us," said Board President Pat Matthews. The board unanimously voted during a special meeting to take the first of two steps to see a 6.57-mill 10-year levy on the Nov. 8 ballot. The first step is to send the millage amount to the Summit County Auditor's office for certification. The board will meet again during a regular meeting Aug. 8 at 6 p.m. at the Stow-Munroe Falls High School to approve the second step to put the issue on the ballot before the Aug. 10 deadline.
