Xenia trying again for Warner levy

XENIA After a close vote in November, Xenia Community Schools are again trying to pass a bond issue for a new middle school.
School board members unanimously voted Jan. 14 to place a 2.3-mill levy on the May ballot that if passed will generate $36 million to fund the building of a new middle school adjacent to the current Warner Middle School property. A similar property tax was turned down by 358 votes in the 2020 general election (8,724-8,366). The district will also ask for the renewal of a 1.3-mill permanent improvement levy
