5705.314 Conducting public hearing on proposed school levy.

If the board of education of a city, local, or exempted village school district proposes to change its levy within the ten-mill limitation in a manner that will result in an increase in the amount of real property taxes levied by the board in the tax year the change takes effect, the board shall hold a public hearing solely on the proposal before adopting a resolution to implement the proposal. The board shall publish notice of the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the school district once a week for two consecutive weeks. The second publication shall be not less than ten nor more than thirty days before the date of the hearing. The notice shall include the date, time, place, and subject of the hearing, and a statement that the change proposed by the board may result in an increase in the amount of real property taxes levied by the board. At the time the board submits the notice for publication, the board shall send a copy of the notice to the auditor of the county where the school district is located or, if the school district is located in more than one county, to the auditor of each of those counties.
