Overview
- Unofficial results show about 64.5% voted yes in the Nov. 4 special election, with roughly 7,735 of 42,681 eligible voters casting ballots, an estimated 18% turnout.
- The renewal maintains a levy of $0.33 per $100 of assessed value for eight years, down from $0.35, and is projected to generate about $14 million annually.
- District leaders say the money funds teacher compensation, smaller class sizes, and classroom programs, not construction projects.
- ACSC reports the 2018 measure supported 142 teachers and 31 support staff, and officials warned that failing to renew would have meant workforce reductions and larger classes.
- The local vote follows state tax changes under SEA 1 that are expected to reduce school revenues, with prior estimates of up to $750 million in losses through 2028, while nearby Northwest Allen voters rejected a new operating levy.
