Voters this fall will be asked not only to decide on national, state and local leadership, but also a slew of proposed school district property tax levies, income tax items and other ballot issues for their communities.

The filing deadline for ballot issues for the Nov. 5 general election was Wednesday afternoon.

The following levies and issues will likely appear on ballots, pending certification from their county boards of election.

Clark County

The Springfield-Clark Career Technology Center in November will ask voters, for a third time, to approve a school construction issue they twice previously rejected. The 1.4-mill levy would fund the local cost to build a nearly $90 million new facility with the state contributing 62% of the base $63 million building cost.

A 1.99 mill, 5-year property tax levy has also been proposed for Greenon Local Schools. The district would use the tax money for general permanent improvements, according to the Clark County Board of Elections. The levy, which would generate $746,518 annually, would fund the construction of a new transportation garage and multipurpose room at the current Greenon athletic facility.
