A request by MCCSC to raise about $7.5 million more next year in property taxes was approved by voters Tuesday.

With all local precincts reporting vote totals at about 10:45 p.m., the public question had received 17,712 votes for it vs. 11,194 votes against it. Only voters within the Monroe County Community School Corp. district voted on the referendum request, which will increase the district’s general fund property tax levy by 14 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for each of the next six years.
