BEAVERCREEK — Voters Tuesday approved a 1-mill levy renewal for Beavercreek schools, according to final, unofficial results with the Greene County Board of Elections.

The levy passed 61 percent to 39 percent in Greene County, or 6,324 votes to 4,001. In Montgomery County, where a small portion of the school district sits, the levy passed 53 percent to 47 percent.

“We’re very thrilled and are very blessed by a community that supports our schools,” Beavercreek Superintendent Gale Mabry said.

The levy raises about $800,000 annually for permanent improvements such as maintenance, computers and technology, school buses and any capital item that lasts five years or longer, Mabry said.

School officials say the levy’s been on the books for more than 20 years.
