It's offical. Well, unofficially.

Kids came first for Massillon voters on Tuesday.

According to unofficial final results posted Wednesday night by the Stark County Board of Elections, Massillon residents soundly passed the city school district’s renewal levy request by a vote of 6,789 (58.5 percent) to 4,826 (41.5 percent).

The margin by which the vote passed impressed at least one board member.
“These are really tough times and (residents) stood up. They didn’t back down,” board member Marshall Weinberg said. “People should be proud of that.”
