A Coventry Local School District Bond & Tax Levy proposition was defeated on the February 5, 2013 election ballot in Summit County, which is in Ohio.

If approved, this question would have authorized the Coventry Local School District to impose an additional tax levy of 1.1 mills ($1.1 per $1,000 of assessed valuation) for a continuing period of time in order to fund acquisition, construction, enlargement, renovation and financing of general permanent improvements in the District. This question would also authorize the District to increase its debt by $28,308,500 by issuing general obligation bonds in that amount in order to fund construction and renovation projects. These bonds would be scheduled to mature in a maximum of 34 years and would require an additional tax levy of 4.89 mills ($4.89 per $1,000 of assessed valuation) for the duration of the bonds.
