THANK YOU, NELSD COMMUNITY!

Thank you to our Northeastern Local School District community for voting to renew the 1% earned income tax levy. We are incredibly grateful for your continued commitment to our schools and our students. Your vote allows us to maintain the stable funding needed to provide a strong educational foundation, including support for teachers, staff, classroom resources, and student opportunities.

We want to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and energy on the levy campaign. Your passion and dedication played a key role in this outcome.

This vote of confidence means we can keep focusing on what matters most—teaching, learning, and building a strong future for our children. Together, we’ll keep moving forward to build a stronger NELSD.
