OUR OPINION Renew Clearview Schools levy Voters served by the Clearview Schools should back a small renewal levy the district has on the May ballot. The 2.86-mill levy, identified on the ballot as Issue 21, generates $261,855 per year. That might not seem like a huge amount of money, but it’s important to keeping the small district operating. Superintendent Jerome Davis told us Wednesday that the district’s budget runs around $15 million per year. “This is something we’ve been counting on for years,” Davis said.
