CTC Levy Passes: Thank You Voters!
“We are ecstatic, thrilled really, that the levy passed. We know from our efforts last fall that other school districts in the county went to the polls numerous times and are excited that it passed on the third try. We are extremely grateful for the county-wide support!”, exclaimed CTC’s Superintendent Michelle Patrick. “The students of Clark County deserve a safe and accessible learning environment that helps them be successful in school and after graduation. The passage of the levy ensures CTC’s 60-year legacy will continue and helps us move forward in so many ways including, a safer more secure campus, larger learning spaces, updated equipment, an energy efficient facility, and updated technology to ensure CTC students are Career Ready, College Ready, and Life Ready!"
A strong community grows out of a strong workforce.
And a strong workforce begins with the right education.
For any community, technical education is essential as it supplies the interns, apprentices, and full-time employees needed to alleviate community labor shortages and help the local economy grow stronger. For Springfield, Ohio, this is doubly true, as 12.7% of our local area employment is made up of production jobs compared to the national average of 5.8%* In addition, individuals working in Springfield's healthcare and technical sectors earn, on average, $42.10 per hour—a whopping $16.94 more than the city's mean hourly wage of $25.16.
Those numbers alone are good reason to invest in the Facility Project for Springfield Clark Career Technology Center (CTC). By raising enough money from a November tax levy to build a new facility on CTC's existing property, CTC will be able to equip more students for either post-secondary learning or direct entry into high-demand, community-supporting careers immediately after graduation.
