BOWLING GREEN, Ohio-Bowling Green voters will once again decide on a ballot measure in November for a new high school, with a proposed 5.53-mill property tax levy aiming to raise $73 million. This initiative follows previous rejections of four construction levy requests.
Mayor Mike Aspacher and BG Families for Schools initiated coffee talks to inform voters about the levy’s importance and impacts. Attendees, like Linda Lander, acknowledge the need for a new high school but advocate for updating elementary buildings first. Proponents highlight the broader community benefits and economic development potential of a new school. Detailed images of the proposed school building are expected to be released soon by school district officials.
