In 1924, a levy was placed on the ballot in Grandview Heights to build a new elementary school to accommodate the growing number of children in homes on the east side of the city. The proposed $175,000 levy was defeated in the November elections, and the district was forced to go to half-day sessions in grades one to three. The issue was again placed on the ballot in November of 1925, and it passed.
