HILLIARD, Ohio-Hilliard City Schools will present a combined bond and levy issue on the November 5 ballot. The 6.9-mill operating levy aims to fund daily district operations, costing homeowners $242 annually per $100,000 of home value if approved. Concurrently, the bond issue seeks authorization to issue $142 million in bonds for constructing, renovating, and improving facilities without increasing existing mileage due to expiring debts. This initiative, the district’s first levy request in eight years, supports Phase 1 of its Master Facilities Plan, including new elementary schools, renovations, safety enhancements, and arts facility improvements.
