School tax votes split: Cuts loom for two districts

Maumee and Springfield schools are bracing for major budget cuts after voters rejected proposed income taxes Tuesday, while voters in Toledo and Sylvania approved additional funding for their school districts. In October, Springfield Superintendent Matt Geha told members of the board of education the district would have to cut $500,000 from the budget even if the income tax measure passed. He warned that number could rise to $2.5 million if it failed. Issue 6, the 0.5 percent income tax for Springfield schools, lost by 589 votes, with 6,518 votes against and 5,929 votes in favor. Mr. Geha said he was still trying to calm down and regroup after the levy defeat. “We will have to decide on the cuts we need to make for fall of 2027,” Mr. Geha said. “This is going to mean reduced opportunities for kids and a reduced number of adults in the buildings. There will be job cuts, and all of these things are going to be painful.” Mr. Geha said cuts are coming regardless of whether the school board decides to put a levy on the May ballot. “Even if we pass a levy, then it would not help us now,” he said. “The

Editorial: Lucas County shows up

Get the voters a Tony Packo’s hot dog bun to sign — on Election Day you were a star! Voters appear to have been energized to turn out to vote in Tuesday’s election in numbers that eclipse previous elections going back more than four decades. Read more editorials By The Blade’s quick comparison with previous years’ voter turnout, the 155,454 votes cast on Tuesday was the largest number of voters in Lucas County in a midterm November election since 1982.

Ms. Kaptur garnered 87,121 votes in Lucas County in that election, enabling her to defeat the Republican incumbent Ed Weber, who received 59,074. In that election, there were 156,222 votes cast in Lucas County.
