New schools will be built in Aurora, Ravenna; renewals approved

Portage County voters are considering renewal levies, a tax to build a new school, and in one case, a renewal levy that would build a school. The Aurora School District is seeking Issue 4, a 4.26-mill, 37-year bond issue to raise a $96.2 million bond to pay for various capital improvement projects, including the replacement of an elementary school. According to complete but unofficial results from the Portage County Board of Elections, the issue was approved, 5,002 to 4,117. In Ravenna, a new elementary school will be built after voters approved Issue 5, a 2.9-mill permanent improvement levy. According to complete but unofficial results from the Portage County Board of Elections, the tax was approved 3,551 to 3,359. Issue 7 is a combined five-year, 5.1-mill renewal levy for the Streetsboro City School District. The measure combines the district's existing 3.6-mill general fund levy and 1.5-mill permanent improvement levy. It would generate nearly $2.55 million annually. According to complete but unofficial results from the Portage County Board of Elections, the issue was approved 3,858 to 3,352. The Crestwood Local School District is asking voters to approve Issue 9, a renewal of a 0.5-mill, five-year general permanent improvement levy that generates a

Jackson football gets chance to show how far it’s come vs. Hudson

JACKSON TWP. — Jay Rohr heard his Jackson High School football team say all the right things. What the fifth-year head coach saw from the Polar Bears on Aug. 28 didn't match their words. Jackson's 55-35 loss to Hudson back in Week 2 marked a turning point in the 2026 season, and now the Polar Bears find those same Explorers returning to Fife Stadium for a second-round playoff game in Division I, Region 1. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6. How far has Jackson come? We're about to find out. Watch Ohio High School Football Live on NFHS Network all year Jackson lost a well-played game against Wadsworth the following week, then won the last seven games of the regular season. It earned its first outright Federal League title since 2001, highlighted by a decisive 30-14 win at Benson Stadium vs. Canton McKinley, and a first-round bye in the playoffs. "We've always talked about going from a good team to a great team," Rohr said. "Going into this season, I felt this group could be a really special group." That notion was challenged early on. Jackson "played OK" in Rohr's words during its season-opening 34-13 win at Chardon. Then
