The LPEVSD community did not approve the 10.243 mills bond issue on the November 5, 2024, ballot. The bond would have generated funds for the district’s Master Facilities Plan, which included constructing a new PreK-12 building, demolishing Budd Elementary and McMullen Elementary and renovating existing facilities.
While this outcome presents challenges in addressing the district’s aging facilities and infrastructure, the district remains committed to ensuring a high-quality educational environment for all students. Superintendent Jen Allerding reaffirmed the district’s dedication to working with the community: “We will continue to work with our community to create a plan that meets the needs of our students and honors the values of Loudonville-Perrysville. Our goal remains to provide safe, accessible and effective learning spaces for all.”
Moving forward, the district is committed to engaging with the community to understand its values and desires. The goal is to develop a facilities plan that ensures district facilities meet the needs of their students while aligning with the community’s long-term goals.
