Meeting on Monday night, the Boardman Local School Board voted to place two renewal tax levy issues on the ballot in the May 7 primaries.
      The renewals come on the heels of an additional tax levy that was approved by the electorate last November.
      The school board voted to place a 5.9-mil renewal issue and a 1.6-mil permanent improvement renewal on the ballot.
      The 5.9-mil levy brings about $4.646 million annually into the Boardman Local School District, Supt.. Frank Lazzeri said.
      The 1.6-mil levy raises about $821,200 annually and can only be used to fund capital improvements.

      Mrs. Terlesky also served as secretary to the Auditorium 2000 campaign that raised more than $2.2 million to build a performing arts center and television studio at Boardman High School.
      Mrs. Terlesky began her career at Boardman Local Schools in 1981, after serving in the superintendent’s office at the Youngstown City Schools.
