Local questions

Local question · Bartholomew County
Operating referendum — Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation
Asks voters whether Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation may keep collecting an extra school property tax for up to 8 years to pay for teacher and staff pay and student safety. The rate would be up to $0.156 per $100 of assessed value, no more than $10,100,000 a year. This renews an existing tax; if it fails, the filing says a median home ($250,000) would pay about $190 less per year. Only voters inside this jurisdiction vote on it. DLGF filing ↗
