REPLACE. REPAIR. PROTECT.

Mayor Ann Womer Benjamin endorses Issue 4

I support the Aurora Schools' Issue 4, to meet the future needs of the District and to address critical infrastructure issues, all to help keep Aurora Schools among the best in the state. Our schools impact Aurora's property values, our economic standing, and our reputation in Northeast Ohio, along with their importance in providing the best education possible to our children. The District has focused its plans on what it really needs to succeed, and I think it has done a great job. Please vote YES on Issue 4!
