The superintendents of both school districts said significant cuts were at stake if voters had rejected the levies.
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Wood County voters had several high-impact decisions on Tuesday’s primary ballot, including who will lead Perrysburg as mayor and whether to fund school and municipal improvements.
These results are unofficial and have not yet been certified by the Wood County Board of Elections.

"Perrysburg schools Superintendent Tom Hosler sent the following statement to members of the district Tuesday night:
We are deeply grateful to the Perrysburg community for supporting the renewal of our Permanent Improvement levy. This evening’s result — 75.0% approval — marks the strongest support for a Perrysburg Schools levy since 1960, when a levy passed by just slightly more at 75.2%. At a time when many school districts across Ohio are facing challenges at the ballot box, we are especially grateful for this historic outcome. It reflects our community’s shared commitment to students and reaffirms Perrysburg’s long-standing tradition of coming together to support education.
This levy doesn’t just fund facilities and equipment—it fuels opportunity, safety, and long-term stability for our students. By renewing this investment, our community has helped protect millions in funding and ensured that we can maintain critical infrastructure without tapping into classroom dollars.
While we know there are many views in our community, today’s outcome shows that, even amid complex challenges, our community continues to come together in support of students. We recognize that trust must be earned every day, and we remain committed to listening, communicating openly, and being careful stewards of the resources you have entrusted to us.
To the numerous volunteers who shared why Perrysburg Schools matter—thank you. Your voices made the difference.
Together, we keep moving forward—with stability, focus, and pride."
