WORTHINGTON -- The District 518 Board of Education certified the maximum proposed 2010 levy payable in 2011 at its meeting Tuesday.
Board members unanimously approved a $4.77 million levy limit, which represents a roughly 2 percent increase from last year.

The board will approve the final levy amount in December.
