Aurora and Ravenna School Levies Pass in Portage County, Paving Way for New Elementary Schools
Unofficial results released November 8 show voters approved school construction levies in both the Aurora and Ravenna school districts in Portage County, Ohio, clearing the way for new elementary schools in both communities.
Aurora's Issue 4 passed 5,002 to 4,117, authorizing a 4.26-mill, 37-year bond issue raising $96.2 million for capital projects, including a new $57.6 million Craddock Elementary School — 117,100 square feet for grades 1-3 — to be built on the existing Herd Road site, replacing the current building. The district said a transportation center will break ground first, as early as this summer or fall, with the new elementary school tentatively set to open in 2031.
Ravenna's Issue 5 passed 3,551 to 3,359, approving a 2.9-mill permanent improvement levy raising about $950,000 a year for a new elementary wing; the state will cover roughly 76 percent of the cost, about $35 million, and construction could begin in 2028. First approved in 2015, the levy becomes permanent with this renewal and will no longer expire.
