All Adams & Ashland Township residents please share this and show up for the informational meeting at the Eminence Christian Church April 2 at 6:30 pm. Your taxes WILL be going up either way so we may as well keep OUR school instead of sending our kids on a bus ride to Cloverdale or Monrovia everyday. Get registered. Vote yes. REFERENDUM ON BALLOT MAY SAVE EMINENCE SCHOOLS By: Deb Kelly A local school official is on a mission to get Adams-Ashland Township residents out on Election Day to vote, hopefully in favor of a referendum that will determine the fate of Eminence Schools. Eminence Community School Corporation Superintendent Terry Terhune is hoping the referendum will pass, which will allow Eminence Schools to stay open. The question on the ballot is as follows: “For the seven calendar years immediately following the holding of the referendum, shall Eminence Community School Corporation impose a property tax rate that does not exceed forty cents ($0.40) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed valuation and that is in addition to all other property tax levies imposed by the school corporation?” If the referendum gets enough yes votes, the school corporation can continue for the foreseeable future; however, if the referendum fails, the school can operate for just one more year before having to shut its doors. Consolidation would be the next step. If that happens, Terhune worries that the community of Eminence could suffer.
