The boards of the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Toledo Area Small Business Association (TASBA) recently voted to support two property tax renewals for Toledo Public Schools (TPS).
Renewal of both its 5.80-mill, 5-year general operating/ improvements levy, and its 5-year operating expense levy calculated at 6.5 mills will appear on the November 7th ballot for Toledo voters.
"Toledo Public Schools plays an important role in preparing students for the specific needs of our region's employers," said Brian Dicken, VP of Advocacy and Strategic Initiatives at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce. “Their magnet school program, which collaborates with businesses, has allowed them to not only retain students, but attract students from other school districts. It is helping to build our workforce pipeline of the future."
This levy was reviewed by the Chamber's Levy Review Subcommittee, which researches and studies levy requests and makes recommendations to other Chamber committees, culminating with the Chamber and TASBA boards. This process ensures that levy requests are examined by a broad cross-section of the Chamber's membership and reflect the views of the business community. The Chamber's comprehensive levy review process includes presentations by the agencies making the request, an examination of the impact of the levy request on both the agency and taxpayers, and a review of agency financials to better understand the need behind the request.
