The Willoughby-Eastlake City board voted unanimously to approve a 75% school district income-tax resolution and to adopt a levy statement of facts during a special meeting.
A board member urged the district to provide factual information to residents and to encourage questions so voters can make an informed choice, emphasizing that the district would not tell people how to vote but would make “facts and the facts alone” available. The official said state guidance appears to be pushing toward district consolidation and framed the resolution as a step that gives the community a choice while the district plans for potential future facility decisions.
The board moved and seconded the motion to approve the income-tax resolution (item 3A) and, after discussion, recorded a roll-call vote of 5-0 in favor. The same vote tally approved the levy statement of facts (item 3B).
District officials told the board the statement of facts will be posted on the district website and included in communications to families so residents can find the information referenced during the meeting. Board members said they would direct constituents to those materials and invited community members to bring questions to district offices.
The meeting record shows the board intends to continue planning for facility decisions if consolidation pressures materialize, but no specific facility actions, deadlines or funding amounts were adopted at this meeting.
