Separating two issues was the charm for voters in the Beachwood School District, who passed Issue 2 on Nov. 6, 3,558 votes (59.3 percent) to 2,442 votes (40.7 percent). Beachwood voters rejected a combined 8.7-mill package by five votes in May that included both the levy for the operating budget and a school bond that would have paved the way for the demolition of Bryden and Hilltop, Beachwood’s elementary schools, and expanded the Fairmount Early Childhood Center to include a new elementary school.
