Don't Just Happen. Visitors to the Solon Schools operating levy Web site will get that message loud and clear, as well as an opportunity to hear Superintendent Joseph Regano answer some of the most frequently asked questions about Issue 19. Voters will have their say on the 6.9-mill operating levy Tuesday. The district hasn't asked for more operating money since 1996, when voters approved a 6.9-mill levy. The Web site has been an effective tool in educating the city about the need for the levy, according to Julie Glavin, co-chair of the Committee for Solon Schools.
People can get information at their fingertips without having to make a phone call.
It has been tremendously successful. The site contains facts about the levy and answers to questions. It also lets viewers ask questions, too. The Web site also led dozens of volunteers to the levy effort. People have requested close to 1,000 signs to put in their yards.
