School Board Places Levy on the Ballot<br />
The <strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong> Board of Education approved a five year, 7.95 mills Emergency tax levy to be placed on the ballot<br />
at the August 7, <strong>2012</strong> special election. The State has cut $1.3 million out of <strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong> School’s funding for this<br />
past school year, and the State will be cutting more in the upcoming school year. <strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Schools</strong>’ will have a<br />
decrease of $2,934,892 in state funding as compared to FY2011; and adding the additional loss of $240,000 from<br />
EdJobs and another State reduction of $312,500 in State aid for FY2013 means <strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> will be working<br />
with $3,487,392 less dollars than in FY2011. The need to balance the budget this year and future years requires<br />
the District to make significant budget cuts and ask the community for more funding. The Board of Education is<br />
giving <strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong> / Monroe Township residents an opportunity to decide if they want the District to make<br />
additional cuts in staffing and programs, or keep the level of staffing that we need to work towards our Excellent<br />
rating. The District has had Excellent ratings the last eight years out of ten and 6 years in a row. This is the first<br />
time in three years that the Board has asked the <strong>Tipp</strong> <strong>City</strong> School voters for new money. For a list of the cuts and<br />
impacts click here: http://www.tippcityschools.com/Page/2951<br />
