Elyria City School District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Elyria City School district is a school district located in Elyria, Ohio. It consists of one high school, Three K-8 campuses, two K-4 elementary school buildings, and an early childhood education center. The Elyria City Schools maintains all public education and buildings.

History

[edit]

In 2014 a gay-straight alliance appeared at Elyria High School. As a result, a group of parents in the school district threatened to reject an item on the May 2014 voting ballot, a renewal levy.

In November 2016, residents of Elyria passed Issue 23, an unprecedented school bond issue valued at $140 million with the goal of rebuilding all the district's schools (excluding Elyria High School) as well as building a state-of-the-art athletic complex on the city's south side to replace the decaying Ely Stadium, which was built in 1927.
