Cincinnati, OH, July 27, 2026 —
The Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) Board of Education has officially voted to place an earned income tax levy on the ballot for the upcoming November election. This decision, made by the board, will allow voters in the district to decide whether to approve the new tax measure.

Earned income taxes, often referred to as a form of income tax, are typically levied on the earnings of individuals who work within a specific jurisdiction.

The upcoming November election will provide the electorate with the opportunity to consider the proposed levy. Further information regarding the specifics of the ballot measure, including its intended use and financial implications, is expected to be released as the election approaches. The Cincinnati Public Schools district relies on a combination of state funding, local property taxes, and other revenue streams to support its operations and educational mission.
The precise impact of this levy, if passed, on taxpayers and the school district’s budget will become clearer as more details are disclosed. The decision to place the levy on the ballot represents a significant move by the CPS Board to potentially increase financial resources for the district.
