Guernsey County rejects Children Services levy, renews local tax measures

CAMBRIDGE − While renewal levies faired well in Guernsey County in the Nov. 3 general election, a new countywide levy was rejected by voters. Guernsey County voters had four countywide levies on the general election ballot to consider. Only one was an additional for Coshocton County Children Services. It was voted down with 6,461 votes against it and 6,024 votes for it, according to unofficial numbers from the Guernsey County Board of Elections. The agency was seeking a 1.25-mill property tax levy for 10 years estimated to generate approximately $1.75 million a year. A similar levy in the spring primary failed. Executive Director Nicole Caldwell said the need for funding was based on a dramatic rise in foster placement costs. Placement costs went from $3.02 million in 2020 to $5.61 million in 2025, a nearly 86% jump. Placement costs is about 64% of the agency's total expenditures, up from 50% in 2020. In the last nine months, Caldwell said they have cut six child welfare worker positions, reducing staffing by 20%. Commissioner Dave Wilson, who won re-election on Nov. 3, said he's worried about the strain children services will put on the county's general budget in the coming year. It's
