The Starke County Election Board members previously received notification that the Department of Local Government Finance approved the wording for the Culver Community Schools referendum question for North Bend Township voters on the November General Election ballot. This week they officially accepted the wording to be included on the 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?”
The Culver Community School Corporation is comprised of four townships in four counties: Starke, Marshall, Pulaski and Fulton. The referendum question will be posed to voters in all four townships this November. The Marshall and Pulaski County Election Board members have previously approved the wording to be added to the ballot.
