• Springboro Schools: A 2.8-mill, 37-year bond issue to fund $115 million in projects, including a new school for pre-kindergarten through second grade for $66.6 million, a $6.9 million multipurpose stadium, junior high school addition for $6.9 million, plus an additional $34.5 million in areas of safety, technology and other improvements and upgrades. It would cost $98 for each $100,000 of appraised home value; however, district officials have said with other millage coming off the tax roles, the total school tax bill would not increase.

The net increase to taxpayers — an existing bond is scheduled to roll off in 2029 — would be roughly $93 a year per $100,000.
• Madison Local Schools: A 10-year, 3.96-mill property tax levy renewal would help avoid an operating deficit. This would not raise the current cost, which is $139 for every $100,000 of property value. It is estimated to generate $1.1 million annually.
