The bond recommendation resulted from a four-month process led by the Oak Hills LSD Community Advisory Team. This group of approximately 60 parents, staff, and community members held four meetings to review the state of the district, including infrastructure, facility conditions, traffic challenges, safety, and academic and extra-curricular programming.

The 1997 Bond levy will be paid off in December of 2025. The Political Action Committee is asking the community to reinvest their resources from the 1997 bond levy. The State of Ohio Facilities Construction Commission will pay for at least 50% of the project. This is possible through the ELPP (Expedited Local Partnership Program). There will be ZERO net increase in property taxes.

Due to the 1997 Bond rolling off taxes in December of 2025, the Ballot must be phrased as an additional bond/tax levy. However, this new bond/tax levy will NOT increase your taxes from what you are paying today!
