The question, as printed on the ballot
Shall Anderson Community School Corporation continue to increase property taxes paid to the school corporation for no more than eight (8) years for the purpose of funding daily operational needs and academic and support programs by imposing a property tax rate that does not exceed $0.1077 and results in a maximum annual amount that does not exceed $2,903,078. If this operating referendum public question is NOT approved by the voters, for a median residence of $100,000, the property's annual tax bill would decrease by $54.00 per year. If this operating referendum public question is approved by the voters, it would be a renewal of the most recent operating referendum public question passed in 2018 with a property tax rate of $0.1077.
A “Yes” vote means
Renews Anderson schools' operating referendum tax for 2027–2034 at no more than $0.1077 per $100 of assessed value and $2,903,078 a year, the same rate voters approved in 2018.
A “No” vote means
The 2018 referendum tax, which covers 2019–2026, is not renewed; the ballot estimates a $100,000 median home's tax bill would decrease by $54 a year.
Official plain English statement
Anderson Community School Corporation asks voters to renew the operating referendum tax first approved in 2018, at the same maximum rate of $0.1077 per $100 of assessed value, for eight more years (2027–2034), raising up to about $2.9 million a year split evenly between academic and support programs and daily operational needs. The district says property owners would see no increase because the rate stays the same.
On the ballot as "ANDERSON COMMUNITY SCHOOL" (Local Public Question), for voters in Anderson Community Schools. The board adopted the renewal resolution June 8, 2026; the current levy runs 2019–2026.
