2022 + 2023

Referenda Impact Report

The Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC) is deeply appreciative to voters for approving eight-year tax referenda in 2022 and 2023. Funding from referenda is key to helping our schools thrive. It’s an investment in our students — and in the future of our community. Over the past two years and three months, approximately $22.6 million of referenda funding was invested each year across four voter-approved areas:

• Early Learning
• Teachers & Staff
• Curricular Enrichment & Student Support 
• Student School Supplies

As a result, we have expanded student access to high quality programs and services. The number of students enrolled in Pre-K has more than doubled. Waived testing fees for Advanced Placement (AP) and Career & Technical Education has removed a barrier for families. Students have benefitted from an enriched curriculum through special programs like performing arts and outdoor education. Teachers and staff received hourly and base salary increases. In addition, families no longer have to worry about purchasing back-to-school supplies — we provide them for free. These positive outcomes wouldn’t be possible without the continued backing of our community. We’re deeply grateful — not only for supporting our schools but for supporting excellence in our schools.
