General Election Results Of the 121 school tax requests on the ballot this week, voters approved 90 of them. While this 74.4% passage rate is significant, a closer analysis shows that only 4 of 16 requests for new General Fund revenue passed. These included 3 of 6 Emergency levies and 1 of 4 Earned Income Tax issues. No new Current Expense levies were approved by voters. WorkKeys transition to new version ACT released a new version ofWorkKeys on June 1with several significant changes, including different assessment names, items, and scoring scales. The original version of WorkKeys will be operational in the Ohio online testing portal through February 1. Ohio will transition to the new version of WorkKeys, and the original WorkKeys will no longer be available after February 1, 2018. Because the scoring scales differ between versions 1 and 2 of the WorkKeys test, students must complete all three sections from the same version. Students who want to test or retest on all or part of the original WorkKeys assessment must therefore test on WorkKeys version 1 by Feb. 1.
