8/3/2026 Special PLSD Board of Education Meeting

The Pickerington Local School District Board of Education held a special meeting on August 3, 2026, primarily to approve a resolution to place a 10-year, 0.75% traditional income tax levy on the November ballot. This levy is intended to provide additional funding to maintain financial solvency, avoid further academic program cuts, support enrollment growth, and retain staff amid rising costs and inadequate state funding. The board unanimously approved the resolution, marking the second step in the process to secure voter approval. Board members emphasized the importance of community engagement, transparency, and fiscal responsibility as they prepare for the upcoming election and ongoing financial challenges facing the district.
