SECTION 3. That the question of the adoption of said renewal tax levy shall be submitted to the electors of the School District at the election to be held on November 2, 2021. If approved by the electors, said tax levy shall first be placed upon the 2022 tax list and duplicate, for first collection in calendar year 2023.

SECTION 4. That pursuant to Section 5705.03 of the Ohio Revised Code, the County Auditor is hereby requested to certify to this Board of Education the total current tax valuation of this School District and the dollar amount of revenue that would be generated by the number of mills specified in Section 2 hereof, and the Treasurer of this Board of
Education be and is hereby directed to certify forthwith a copy of this resolution to the County Auditor so that said County Auditor may certify such matters in accordance with Section 5705.03 of the Ohio Revised Code.
