Why should I vote YES on Issue 16?
Voting YES provides students with the high-caliber classes and educators they need to succeed in school and beyond! After 18 years without asking for more operating funds, it is time to increase our budget to support Ravenna students.

The needs of contemporary public schools are constantly met with competition from other enrollment options and we want our students to do more than just keep up – we want them to thrive!

Vote YES on Issue 16!
