LOUDONVILLE, Ohio-Co-chairs Roger Stitzlein, Kari Reidenbach, and Molly Kern are advocating for a bond issue to fund a new Loudonville-Perrysville school, emphasizing the high stakes for the future of the village. They argue that the current school environment is inadequate and that the school is crucial to the community’s survival—”without a school, there’s no community,” according to Reidenbach. The bond issue, totaling $53.5 million, would be repaid over 37 years, costing taxpayers $341 per $100,000 of property value. The total cost of the new school building is $71 million, with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) contributing $15.7 million, and the district adding $2.3 million. Additionally, voters will be asked to approve a separate levy to fund permanent improvements, raising $145,000 annually at a cost of $18 per $100,000 of appraised property value.
