Voters in Parma, Parma Heights and Seven Hills overwhelmingly defeated a proposed earned income tax levy. The 1.75% tax, which would have taken effect Jan. 1, 2027, was in exchange for eliminating three property tax levies set to expire in 2030, 2031 and 2034. The district's superintendent, Scott Hunt, acknowledged the vote's outcome and pledged to serve students, families and staff with integrity and transparency. The average $100,000 district homeowner would annually save $500 in property taxes.
