Instead of school levy, Cleveland Heights-University Heights schools should trim administrative expenses: Sun Press Letter to the Editor
(Sun Press)
Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District wants another “current expense” levy. The 12 “expense” levies we already pay to the district – without end – have yet to do the job. I’ll cite data from the Ohio Department of Education.
There is the district’s dismal 578 out of 610 performance ranking. However, after Orange Schools, CHUH spends the highest on instructional costs. And, CHUH earns the 6th highest revenue in the state! Impressive!
