HUBER HEIGHTS -- It's been a long battle for Huber Heights schools, and even after the election, it continues.Right now, the results are 62-percent against and 38-percent for.The levy has failed the past three times it's been on the ballot.Just a few hours ago voters were at Wayne High School casting their ballots for the levy.After its failure in May, the district cut several teaching positions along with starting a pay to play program for its student athletes.At one point, the cost was 750-dollars but in July the district voted to bring the cost for parents down to 428-dollars.If the levy would have passed, the district was expecting to reinstate several teaching positions along with transportation for its elementary kids.One parent we spoke to says tonight's failure for the fourth time, is disappointing.It's an extreme disappointment and let down, said Josh Sullenberger, parent, I hate to see what's happening in our community with the constant failing if levies and more importantly I just hate hearing families that I know have been a part of is community for a long time, contemplating leaving this community because we're not rallying around our schools.The 5.95 mill levy failed with against and for. The district has made more than 14-million dollars in cuts the past few years, and is now cutting even more.
