BCSC approves requesting operating referendum

Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. officials will seek voter approval for additional tax money in an operating referendum.

On Monday, BCSC school board members unanimously approved placing an operating referendum on the May 5 primary ballot during the board’s meeting at Northside Middle School, located at 1400 27th St.

School officials say the proposed tax increase would fund teacher and support staff salary increases and student safety.
