School levies in May elections

These two examples do not make a trend, but in May 2014, the Sylvania school levy was defeated.

In May of 2010, TPS tried to get a new school levy passed that would have been an income tax and not a property tax, but the issue was defeated.

At the LC BOE website, you can view Lucas County election results for elections held throughout the year, going back to 1986. A little digging should show how school levies have fared in May.
