The Question on the Ballot

Will the referendum question to the general election after the May primary election?

No, the primary vote in May will decide whater the referendum passes or fails.

What does the ballot question mean?

The 30.74% increase represents the increase of the school's portion of the tax bill and not the overall property taxes paid by a homeowner. The referendum question calculated the average tax rate of the two taxing districts and then determined the amount paid by the average homestead in Blue River Valley Schools district.

Note: Legislature requires specific verbiage in the ballot question. The 30.74% and 24.17% do not mean your property taxes will increase that much.
