WCC supports the passage of the Winton Woods school levy, appearing on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Check out the details the Winton Woods City School District has shared regarding the levy below 👇

💚💙 DID YOU KNOW?
Winton Woods City School District ranks in the lowest 22% in per-pupil spending across the State of Ohio.

📊 Winton Woods spends $11,481 per student, compared to the state average of $12,759.*

Voters will decide on a 6.95-mill Operating Levy on the November 3, 2026 ballot.

Here's an important piece of the story: Winton Woods has not requested new operating funds from the community in 17 years.

State funding has shown minimal growth, and Ohio's school funding formula does not adjust for inflation.

If approved, the levy would fund the day-to-day operations of the district, including staffing, utilities, and supplies.

Every student. Every opportunity. Every day.

*According to the 2024-25 State Report Card data.

When residents think about city leadership, the Mayor and City Council are often the most visible faces of local government. But what happens after policies are adopted, priorities are established, and decisions are made? Who is responsible for turning those decisions into action—and who is accountable when it comes to the day-to-day operation of the city?

Join the Woman’s City Club and community partners on October 22 from 6-7:30 pm for City Management: Who Really Runs the City?, an in-person public forum exploring Cincinnati’s city management structure and the roles and responsibilities of the people and institutions that make city government work.

Laure Quinlivan, Filmmaker and former Council Member and Channel 9 Investigative Reporter, will serve as moderator. Panelists confirmed to date are Jeff Cramerding, City Council Member and labor lawyer; Karl Kadon, former Cincinnati Deputy Solicitor and most recently Deputy Inspector General for Investigations at the Federal Housing Finance Agency; and Mike Morgan, an attorney who served as co-chair of a Charter Review Task Force mandated by City Council in 2013.

At our latest WCC forum, we explored 200 years of Cincinnati government, looking at what has worked, what hasn’t, and how our city’s leadership structure has evolved.

We then turned to the last 25 years, examining the impact of increased mayoral power and inviting attendees to weigh in on Cincinnati today. Polling revealed a strong concern among those in the room that the current structure gives greater priority to large corporations than to residents and small businesses.

It was a lively evening of history, thoughtful discussion, and ideas for creating a better balance of power among the Mayor, City Council, and City Manager.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, asked questions, and shared their perspectives. Good government starts with an informed and engaged community. 💜

Over the past 25 years, a shift to a stronger mayoral system has changed the balance of leadership in City Hall. As new conversations about Charter reform emerge, the Woman’s City Club, the Greater Cincinnati Voter Collaborative and Invest in Neighborhoods invite the community to explore an important question: Is Cincinnati’s current system of government serving its citizens as effectively as it could?

Join us for a timely, nonpartisan discussion on September 22, examining the Stronger Mayor, Stronger City? Our panel will explore how Council is structured and elected, the debate over district versus at-large representation, the evolution and impact of Cincinnati’s strong-mayor system, and what different approaches could mean for voter accountability, representation, transparency, and civic engagement. Moderated by Anne Delano Steinert of the University of Cincinnati Department of History, the forum will bring together panelists representing different experiences and perspectives on how Cincinnati governs—and how it might govern in the future. Panelists include Tim Burke, Of Counsel, Manley Burke, Mike Morgan, Attorney, J. Thomas Hodges & Associates, and Pastor Lesley Jones, Founder and Senior Pastor, Truth & Destiny and former Mt. Airy Community Council President.

This program is the first in a two-part Woman’s City Club series on Cincinnati Charter reform. A second forum planned for October will turn the conversation toward professional city administration and whether potential reforms could strengthen transparency, accountability, and responsiveness in city management. Whether you have followed City Hall for decades or simply want to better understand how decisions affecting Cincinnati are made, this series offers an opportunity to become a more informed and engaged citizen.
