• Brecksville-Broadview Heights weighs 5.9-mill school levy (cleveland.com) — Brecksville-Broadview Heights school leaders are weighing a new 5.9‑mill operating levy that could cost about $516 a year on a $250,000 home to stabilize district finances. Without new revenue, forecasts show cash reserves nearly disappearing by 2030 despite a planned $6 million transfer from campus funds. Officials have paused unfunded campus projects and are eyeing a possible May 2027 ballot request.
