REPLACE. REPAIR. PROTECT.
REPLACE. REPAIR. PROTECT.
Aurora, we did it! Issue 4 passed!
To everyone who helped make this possible: thank you!
This campaign succeeded because our community came together. Neighbors talked with neighbors. Volunteers gave their evenings and weekends. Students stepped up. Donors contributed generously. Residents, businesses, and organizations lent their voices and support. And voters made a lasting investment in the future of Aurora’s schools.
We are grateful for every conversation, every thoughtful question, every shared message, and every person who helped along the way. After the disappointment of the previous campaign, so many of you encouraged us to keep going. That support meant more than you know.
Replace. Repair. Protect. What began as our campaign message now represents the work ahead: replacing aging facilities, completing essential repairs, and protecting the investment generations of Aurora residents have made in our schools.
We took on this effort because we care deeply about our students, teachers, and community. Today, we are thrilled to know that, together, we have helped create a legacy that will serve Aurora for generations to come.
To every resident, however you voted, thank you for being part of a community that cares about its future. We look forward to seeing these plans take shape and the benefits they will bring.
It has been a privilege to help lead this effort. We will always remember the people who made it possible.
With full hearts and deepest thanks,
The Citizens Committee for Quality Schools
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!
