Point of Clarification
The other day I questioned whether Hamilton Southeastern Schools were running contrary to the law by advocating for their referendum on their website.
It turns out HSE is operating within the law because the referendum is for operational expenses. If it were for capital improvements, the school district would be in big trouble.
It still strikes some HSE taxpayers as odd that a school district can use taxpayers money to push for a measure that takes more taxpayers’ dollars.
That has also caught the attention of some officials in the Daniels’ administration so don’t be surprised if there’s a change in the law next session.
