Not a New Tax Canton Local Schools is asking voters to renew an existing levy on the November 4, 2025 ballot. The 10.8-mill levy has been in place since 2001, and its last five-year renewal was approved in 2021. It supports day-to-day operations (like staff and supplies) and permanent improvements (like buses and building upgrades).
