Hi all. I just received an e-mail with the following information regarding upcoming dates to hear about the PCLS School Tax Levy:

Upcoming PCLS financial/levy information sessions

Painesville City Schools will host two community information sessions to provide an overview of district finances and factual information regarding Issue 2, the operating levy on the May ballot.

These meetings are scheduled for:

Thursday, April 9, at Harvey High School at 7:00 PM

Wednesday, April 29, at Heritage Middle School at 7:00 PM

Hi all. So, I promised I would be updating things so here we go. The below group has been formed to support the upcoming income tax levy that will be on the ballot May 7th. Feel free to explore their page and website to find out more information. I need to gather my thoughts for a future post on how I feel about this.

Investing in our community.

Vote YES on Issue 2 on May 5!

Kathy Dolney, Treasurer

Hi all. I want to thank everyone who supported my run for the PCLS Board of Education. It didn't work out this time, but there is always next year! My commitment to PCLS and P'ville is ever-present, and I'm going to keep this as an open channel to promote PCLS and keep up on happenings. It is crazy over at Riverside currently with their outgoing board members and the discontent and chaos they are trying to sow. I am thankful that this has not occurred in PCLS and that the community is confident in its leadership. We were fortunate to have the public's support during COVID and beyond.
Mr. Costel and Mrs. Hada will be steady leaders.

Painesville City residents do not have deep pockets, so the coming levy we will encounter should be interesting.

Hi everyone. PCLS shared this distribution list on their FB page, and I am resharing it in hopes that someone I know may need this information or can share it so others are aware. Painesville is a small community, and this is a time when we look out for one another the best we can.

PCLS prepared me well for the world, and I want the same for all of the kids in our district. I also recognize that funding from the state and federal governments is steadily decreasing. Tough questions and situations are here; I have proven myself as a fierce advocate before. I hope you give me another chance to do it.

I touched on the stigma that many of us feel from the world around us when we lay claim to Harvey High School. In this article it is addressed head on by a fellow Harvey alumni, and an impressive young man named Shahan Alston. https://www.news-herald.com/2025/10/21/parting-words-on-shahn-alstons-impact-on-harvey-painesville-city-opinion/?fbclid=IwdGRjcANlmG5jbGNrA2WYZmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEeK8_wdRAGCCLbTfIjuVBFST6FTK6q8JEhecNPfoMY55C1Pmjze2_J7y8v9-Y_aem_-NWENiAfKYqsYX6LrfVXJQ

When you’re a Harvey person, you grow accustomed to the occasional natural recoil.

Mr. Briggs and I loved seeing all the kids dressed up at the Lake County YMCA Trunk or Treat this evening!
