Southeastern board members approved today, June 24, the first of two necessary resolutions to place a bond issue before voters on the Nov. 2 ballot.
The board unanimously approved at a special meeting a resolution of necessity to put a 37-year, $7,983,000 bond issue on the November ballot, said Superintendent David Shea. The bond issue, if approved, would fund half the costs of a building project; the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission would fund 50 percent of the project.
The board will meet July 20 to complete the process of placing the bond issue on the ballot.

Hard sell! We will require all the particulars. I think this will feel the negative thoughts of parents who disagreed with the moving of the 7th and 8th grade students to the high school just to make this possible.

I like how some of the people who leave pro school comments are people who live outside the district and open enroll their kids. They aren’t going to get their taxes raised. VOTE NO!

Livinbythehighschool - nice job throwing some nonfactual information out there for the public to latch on to. Mabe the purpose of the change in location is to get the students at the HS away from you and your family.
By good grief!

As individuals the people on the SE Board are OK. As a group they out of touch with what this community wants and needs. SE Board is ignoring the survey they commissioned. They are getting very poor advice from Treasurer and non-resident Supt. Bottom line is that new schools are not needed, fix what we have, like community told you. Second, moving 7th/8th was a very bad decision - educationally unsound, and you had to sneak it through without community notification and input. You are/have killed any trust with parents and voters – it will be very hard to get it back, very sad!

Polling has 70 to 80% saying no way no how. WE THE PEOPLE have a say, not the elite minority! Because of this we may never get levy passed again in SE = Sad.

Every other school that has taken the state’s 1/2 cost of the building of a new school can not now afford them, look at London, real trouble there. We don’t want that at Southeastern. No to the new school. I will vote yes for the Renewal levy to run our current school because that is what I am already paying and is in the budget. No to the new school.
