Marshall County Clerk Deb Vandemark told the Election Board members this week that the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) approved the wording for the Culver Community School Corporation’s referendum question on the November General Election ballot.
The question reads:
“For the eight (8) calendar years immediately following the hold of the referendum, shall the Culver Community Schools Corporation impose a property tax rate that does not exceed seventeen cents ($.017) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed valuation and that is in addition to all other taxes imposed by the school corporation for the purpose of funding academic and educationally-related programs, increasing student opportunities and students safety, managing class sizes, and attracting and retaining teachers?”
Vandemark said that will now be sent to the vendor who puts together the ballot to include it for Marshall County voters. The Culver Community School Corporation includes four townships in four counties: Marshall, Starke, Pulaski and Fulton Counties.
