Fifty-seven percent of votes were cast against the measure.
Cuyahoga Falls voters voted down the five-year, 3-mill school levy on Tuesday.

"Obviously, the result this evening is a huge disappointment," Superintendent Dr. Todd Nichols said Tuesday night on the district's Facebook page. "As any good coach does after a loss, they examine their practices to decipher what went wrong. As I am the coach in this situation, I will do the same. ...Nonetheless, this is a hard pill to swallow."
