The levy was first passed in 1988 and brings in about $4.8 million a year. Passage of the renewal would not raise taxes, but keep taxes at the current level.

“It represents 11 percent of our current operating budget,” Berdine recently told Brecksville Patch. “Not passing this renewal levy to continue providing the same level of resources to the district (would have been) devastating to the day-to-day operations of every school in our district.”
Superintendent Scot Prebles couldn't be immediately reached for comment.
