2 NEWS will be sharing results after polls close. Check back for updates.

Learn more about each levy and their results as they come in. CLICK HERE to see more election results. 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. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
