MARIEMONT, Ohio -Mariemont City Schools Superintendent Steven Estepp emphasizes the importance of an upcoming vote on an additional operating levy, which is crucial for maintaining current programs and services. The proposed 5.95 mill levy would cost homeowners $208 annually per $100,000 in property value and generate $3.1 million each year for the district. If the levy fails, the district plans to phase out 32 staff positions (a 15% reduction), cut art, music, and STEM programs, reduce advanced courses and extracurricular activities, and decrease counseling and medical services.
