September 10, 2026 Strongsville Board of Education Meeting

The Strongsville Board of Education held a work session on September 10, 2026, focusing primarily on the district's financial challenges and a plan to protect core educational services amid revenue shortfalls. The board discussed the failure of previous levies, the depletion of cash reserves, and the necessity of a new 6.7 mill operating levy on the November 3 ballot to generate approximately $7.5 million in new annual revenue. The plan includes $5 million in expenditure reductions already implemented or planned, dissolution of a capital improvements fund to bolster the general fund by $16.1 million as a one-time measure, and the potential for severe additional cuts totaling $13.9 million if the levy fails. These cuts would impact staffing, academic programs, extracurricular activities, transportation, and student services. The board unanimously approved the plan to protect the core and also approved a contract with PSI for speech language pathology services. Additionally, a revised Bring Your Own Technology policy was adopted. The meeting concluded with an executive session regarding employment matters.
