The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall a fixed-sum levy renewing an existing levy be imposed by the Elgin Local School District for the purpose of paying current expenses of the district in the sum of $850,000 and a levy of taxes to be made outside of the ten-mill limitation estimated by the county auditor to average 2.88 mills for each $1 of taxable value, which amounts to $101 for each $100,000 of the county auditor's market value, for a period of five years, commencing in 2027, first due in calendar year 2028? The county auditor has certified that the amount by which the carry-over balance in the district's general operating budget from the preceding fiscal year exceeds the district's general fund expenditures made in the preceding fiscal year is $0, which is 0% of those expenditures.

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote renews a levy raising $850,000 a year (about 2.88 mills) for 5 years for the Elgin Local School District's current expenses.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the renewal levy.

The district covers parts of Marion, Delaware and Hardin counties.
