Issue 28 Renewal 

Dear CPS Staff, Families and Supporters,

Our community showed up once again, proving that we are Here for Kids.

Because of your support, Issue 28 has officially passed! Together, we’ve secured $48 million annually for the next ten years — funding that keeps Cincinnati Public Schools strong, innovative and fully committed to preparing our students for life. 

Your vote is more than a ballot mark — it’s a message that says our community believes in public education, in our future and in every child who walks through our doors.

What This Renewal Makes Possible

• Here for Their Start: Expanded preschool access, tuition assistance and stronger early-childhood programs.
• Here for Their Growth: Continued investment in K-12 academics, technology and college- and career-readiness programs.
• Here for Their Success: Stable operational funding that keeps our schools safe, staffed and equipped for excellence.

This victory reaffirms what makes Cincinnati special — a city that consistently shows up for its children. By renewing this levy, you’ve ensured that CPS can continue to provide opportunity, stability and innovation across every neighborhood school.

We are grateful to every voter, staff member, family and community partner who stood with us. Because of you, Cincinnati remains a city that is always and proudly Here for Kids.

With gratitude,

Shauna Murphy
Superintendent, Cincinnati Public Schools
