Yesterday, eighteen school districts across Ohio were on the ballot with requests for revenue increases (e.g. tax levies). Of those, only nine were successful. Of the nine that passed, one passed by only nine votes; three by less than 200 votes.

This is not a new phenomenon. Levies have become increasingly hard to pass throughout our state, pointing as the Ohio Supreme Court has on four separate occasions, to the need for true reform in our school funding system.
