The Culver Community Schools Corporation is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, but school officials are also looking to the future, as next month’s referendum approaches. Superintendent Karen Shuman passed out special 50th anniversary pins to school board members Monday. “It is a significant end, when we talk about the referendum, that we wish to be here in 50 years,” she said, “and as you’ve seen, the signs have gone up.”
Shuman said she’s been meeting regularly with potential voters. “So, it’s been a very positive couple of months, so far,” she said. The referendum asks voters for permission to raise property taxes by up to 17 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for an eight-year period.
