In the upcoming May 6th special primary election, voters residing within the Crown Point Community School Corporation district boundary will see a single question on their ballot. This question asks if they support the continuation of the 2018 voter-approved referendum, but at a reduced rate. The main objectives are to manage class sizes, to retain teachers, student safety initiatives, and fund academic and educationally related programs.
Voting “YES” for this question means that the current school funding continues. The referendum maximum tax rate would be reduced from $0.21 to $0.1828 per one-hundred dollars of net assessed value and will not increase taxes. The effect of this ballot question is very simple — Crown Point Community Schools funding will remain stable and the maximum impact of the referendum to homeowner tax bills has decreased by almost 13%.
The referendum ballot language is established by Indiana law and approved by the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance. The language in the May 2025 referendum was passed by state legislators in the spring of 2021 in an effort to mislead voters and take away local control. It uses a formula that does not correctly reflect the continuation of a reduced tax rate. See this FAQ for more information. This will be the last election using this ballot wording, as better language has been approved for future referendums.
