Millage for operating levy is 5.9 mills.
On Monday, the Westlake Board of Education voted to put a 5.9-mill operating levy on the May 7 ballot. If approved, Issue 16 will cost voters approximately $180 per $100,000 home valuation. The last operating levy passed in Westlake in 2006. The Westlake School Board opted to move forward with the levy after reaching a new contract agreement with the teachers union. The new agreement includes a pay cut during the time of the 18-month contract, along with increased health care costs for teachers. Read more about the new contract here.
