Three Hamilton County school referendums passed in a special election conducted Tuesday.
Voters in the Carmel Clay, Westfield and Sheridan school districts passed referendums related to operational costs and construction.
Westfield’s referendum will collect $0.30 for every $100 of assessed property value to generate $90 million over the next 20 years to be used for school renovations of the intermediate, middle and high schools.
Carmel voters approved a $0.19 tax for every $100 of assessed property value to be used for academic and support programs, teaching positions and other educational needs.
Voters in Sheridan approved a $0.06 increase to the district’s current referendum, totaling $0.25 per $100 of assessed value.
As results became final, Sheridan Community Schools Superintendent Dr. David Mundy told The Reporter, “The Sheridan School Board of Trustees and I want to enthusiastically thank the entire community for supporting the renewal of our school referendum. The overwhelming support is both humbling and greatly appreciated.”
Mundy said he is looking forward to continuing the school system’s educational success.
“The continuation of our referendum will allow Sheridan Community Schools to continue to push our students to further levels of success, help our families support their student’s futures, and work to better the entire community,” Mundy said.
