Dayton Public Schools Proposes 7-Mill Levy to Fund Operations

Dayton, OH, October 6, 2026 — Dayton Public Schools has announced its intention to place a 7-mill property tax levy before voters this fall. The proposed levy, if approved, is projected to generate approximately $14.6 million.

The school district is seeking voter approval for a new property tax levy in the upcoming election. The proposal outlines a 7-mill levy, which school officials state is intended to generate $14.6 million. The specifics regarding the intended allocation of these funds, or the potential impact on individual taxpayers, were not detailed in the initial announcement.
