Beavercreek bond issue reappears on May ballot
The Beavercreek City School District is asking voters for the second time to pass a bond issue to help build a new high school — something that school officials say would help address a major increase in student enrollment after several years of steadily increasing numbers.
The 4.9 mill bond issue would cost local homeowners $172 annually for each $100,000 of appraised real estate value.
Clark-Shawnee schools propose tax levy: What to know
Clark-Shawnee Local School District says that they have been spending in the negative, and this levy would allow them to operate with more breathing room.
A majority of this levy will go to retaining the district's current faculty and staff. And if the levy does not pass, the school board has approved the creation of a plan to look at cuts across the district.
Greenon school levy looks to finish projects, build new facilities
Greenon Local Schools says their levy is needed to transform the district and provide quality education to students. The levy will go toward three areas for the district — a new transportation hub, the elementary school and a new space for its wrestling athletes.
If passed, this levy will cost homeowners $97 for every $100,000 of appraised property value.
Huber Heights schools facing $7M in cuts if levy fails
Huber Heights City School District says the district is currently operating in a deficit, prompting an operating levy that could pull them out of the red.
Huber Heights residents will vote on a 6.9-mill operating levy that would generate $7.8 million to help the school district cover its day-to-day expenses. If it passes, the levy would cost residents about $242 a year for every $100,000 of appraised property value.
Mad River Schools propose levy for school upkeep
Mad River Local School District says building maintenance is expensive and taking thousands of dollars from the school's general fund, when those dollars could be going to other resources for staff and students.
This 2.9-mill levy would cost homeowners $100 per $100,000 of appraised property value.
Northmont Schools facing further cuts if levy fails again
Northmont Local School District is facing even more cuts if their levy does not pass. With two failing levies on the ballot in 2023, the district had to cut over 40 positions.
This time, the levy asks for 3.44 mills for ten years in order to fund day-to-day operations, including maintaining teachers, clubs and transportation for the district. Residents would pay $120 for every $100,000 of appraised property value.
Oakwood levy would improve safety of historic school buildings
Oakwood School District says the proposed bond levy would fund upgrades across its facilities, improving safety while preserving the district's historic charm.
Oakwood residents will vote on Issue 12, a 4.74-mill bond levy that would generate $40 million to upgrade school facilities. If it passes, the levy would cost residents about $166 a year for every $100,000 of property value.

Trump and Hegseth to visit Fort Bragg as they send troops to Los Angeles

Washington — President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are visiting Fort Bragg, the nation's largest military installation, on Tuesday, after sending the National Guard and U.S. Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles. Members of the Marine Corps arrived in the greater Los Angeles area Tuesday, a defense official told CBS News, after the military activated about 700 active-duty Marines Monday. The Pentagon said the Marines would "seamlessly integrate" with National Guard troops to protect "federal personnel and federal property." There are 2,100 members of the California National Guard now on location in the greater Los Angeles area, operating in Los Angeles, Paramount and Compton. The president is expected to speak at Fort Bragg in North Carolina around 4 p.m. Hegseth is heading to the military base after testifying on Capitol Hill. "Will be going to Fort Bragg today. Big speech, amazing crowd! See you later!!!" Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday morning. The president claimed Tuesday morning that Los Angeles would be "would be burning to the ground right now," if not for his actions to federalize the National Guard. A memorandum the president signed Saturday said the troops are authorized to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials and other federal law enforcement officials. He invoked Title 10, the U.S. code governing use of the armed forces, allowing the National Guard to come into LA in a supporting role. On Monday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom sued the president and Hegseth over the decision to deploy the National Guard to the state against Newsom's wishes. Newsom argued that Title 10 "has been invoked on its own only once before and for highly unusual circumstances not presented here." He pointed to the text of the U.S. code, which states that when the president calls a state's National Guard into federal service under Title 10, "those orders 'shall be issued through the governors of the States.'" Hegseth, Newsom maintained, "unlawfully bypassed the Governor of California, issuing an order that by statute must go through him." "At no point in the past three days has there been a rebellion or an insurrection," the lawsuit reads. "Nor have these protests risen to the level of protests or riots that Los Angeles and other major cities have seen at points in the past, including in recent years."

Report: Meta taps Scale AI's Alexandr Wang to join new ‘superintelligence' lab

In Brief Meta plans to unveil a new AI research lab dedicated to 'superintelligence' as the company works to compete in the AI race, according to several reports. Meta has tapped Scale AI founder and CEO Alexandr Wang to join the new lab, The New York Times reports. Meta has been in talks to invest billions into Scale AI as part of a deal that would bring Scale AI employees to Meta. Meta has also been poaching lead researchers from OpenAI and Google, per the Times. The new lab comes as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg grows frustrated with his company's AI shortfalls. Bloomberg reports he has been meeting with AI researchers and engineers at his homes in Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto to personally recruit a team of around 50 people, including a new head of AI research. Sources told Bloomberg that Zuckerberg believes Meta can and should outpace other tech companies gunning to achieve AGI, the still-undefined idea that AI systems could exceed human performance in many tasks. Meta AI last month reached 1 billion monthly active users.
