Voters in the Knox Community School District are examining a referendum question on the ballot that asks permission to move forward with a construction project at the Palmer Wing of the Knox Elementary School.
Absentee Voting Off to a Good Start
The first day of absentee voting went pretty smoothly yesterday, according to voting officials in the Starke County clerk’s office.
Twenty people voted absentee and 10 people asked for mail ballots on Monday. Absentee voting is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. CT at the Starke County Courthouse until May 3. You may also vote absentee on Saturday, April 27 and May 4 from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m., and Monday, May 6 from 8 a.m. to Noon. The polls are open May 7 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Center, California, and Washington Townships.
This is a special election for voters in the Knox Community School District and voters will be approving or rejecting a referendum asking for a slight tax increase in order to fund a proposed construction project at the 60-year-old Palmer Wing at the Knox Elementary School. The project would greatly improve conditions for students and staff in that part of the building.

Starke County Election Board Discusses Handicap Accessibility
The Starke County Election Board met this week. Clerk Evelyn Skronski, a board member, talked about the agenda items discussed.
“We’ve got our absentee hours set, and we’ve got all of our full training hours set, and the county chairs are working on getting their poll workers,” said Skronski.
Some polling places needed upgrades in handicapped parking and accessibility.
“We talked about what we need to get done for handicap-accessible precincts, so we’re going to do that,” said Skronski.
To help upgrade handicapped accessibility Mrs. Skronski said they received a grant.
“I recieved a $10,000 grant from the Help America Vote Act, to be used for making sure the polling places are all handicap-accessible– signage, painting of parking places, repairing or repaving some of the parking lots,” Skronski said.
Absentee voting begins Monday April 9th. And the travel board will go out April 28 through May 7th. The May 7th. board will only go out until noon.
