VOTE411 Voter Guide

Term: 4 yearsThe Governing Board of the Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio is made up of five members from the three Cuyahoga County Local School Districts: Cuyahoga Heights, Independence, and Richmond Heights. Board members are elected by the residents of those three school districts.All three candidates this year are incumbents: George Klepacz and Christine A. Krol, both of Independence, and Anthony Miceli of Richmond Heights. The ESC s administrative staff provides services that sall school districts may not be able to provide efficiently on their own. These include advice on legal, financial, personnel and curricular matters, as well as psychological, special education and learning disability services. The ESC cannot levy taxes or submit bond issues, so local districts pay for county services with revenue from their own tax levies. The ESC, however, does distribute state and federal education funding to the three local districts.The League is not sending questionnaires in uncontested elections.
