## Resource

Cincinnati Public Schools is pushing for voter approval of a new 0.75% earned income tax levy this November, targeting only working residents to fund essential programs like Montessori and career tech—critical as deeper cuts loom without it. After two years of staff reductions to bridge a $58M gap, the district says budget cuts are no longer sustainable, with next year’s cuts worse if the levy fails. The levy avoids hitting retirees or investment income earners, and while community trust remains low due to past financial opacity, the district vows to open its books and boost engagement before the vote. This comes a decade after the last levy, underscoring the urgency to secure future stability. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
