Recount confirms Huber Heights school levy fails by 3 votes
HUBER HEIGHTS, Ohio (WDTN) — Following May's election, the Huber Heights School levy was too close to call, prompting a recount.
On June 5, an official recount took place, confirming the school levy failed by just three votes.
School leaders say even though the levy failed, the district should be able to remain consistent with programs they offer students and class sizes for the next school year.
Huber Heights school levy fails by three votes: Official results
Officials say they are disappointed to have the levy fail by such a narrow margin, and now they must wait to see what they receive from state funding and property taxes to determine the impact.
They say these budgets provide them with funding for school resources for students and staff. The budget should be finalized by July.
Officials also say that staff reductions are not something they foresee as a result of the levy failing.
Superintendent Jason Enix says they are grateful for the support they did receive from voters throughout the campaign.
'But for right now, we are moving forward. Still some unknowns before any final decisions are made going forward into next school year,' said Enix.
Montgomery County Board of Elections says the most important thing during the recount was being transparent. 'We did have it live on Facebook, so you can see how transparent and how accurate the recount is and how accurate our Election Day results are,' said Jeff Rezabek, Montgomery County BOE director.
Enix says the district must wait to evaluate their budget for the next year before they can determine what cuts, if any could be necessary.
