Ballot language
"Shall West Lafayette Community School Corporation continue to impose increased property taxes paid to the school corporation by homeowners and businesses for eight (8) years immediately following the holding of the referendum for the purpose of retaining and attracting teachers and staff and funding academic programming and operating expenditures with the renewal of the current maximum referendum property tax rate of $0.37? The property tax increase requested in this referendum was originally approved by the voters in 2017 and if extended will increase the average property tax paid to the school corporation per year on a residence within the school corporation by 46.2% and if extended will increase the average property tax paid to the school corporation per year on a business property within the school corporation by 41.8%." |
Ballot Language Explained
School referendum ballot questions are required by state law to be written a certain way. The question correctly describes the referendum as a renewal of the current rate, but also describes a tax increase. The rate will be the same. The 46% and 41% increases refers to the percentage of total taxes paid to the school district for the referendum for residences and businesses, respectively. |

Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 7. An interactive map of voting locations, with wait times, hours of operations and other information may be found at the Tippecanoe County Department of Elections & Voter Registration website.
