Bellbrook levy fails for third time By Scott Halasz - shalasz@aimmediamidwest.com BELLBROOK — The Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Local School District could be facing more cuts after voters turned down a general operating levy for the third time. According to unofficial results from the Greene County Board of Elections, 5,540 residents in the district voted no, while 4,912 voted yes for Issue 21. While there are some absentee and provisional ballots yet to be counted in Greene County, district officials did not feel there were enough to make a difference. “This outcome is both disappointing and disheartening not only for our families and students but for the entire community,” Superintendent Dr. Doug Cozad said in a release. “When a levy fails, the needs do not go away with that failure rather, they worsen. Due to this levy failure, the district will not collect the approximately $3.3 million next year if it would have passed. We appreciate the work done by so many to help inform voters, especially in these circumstances.”
