The Brownsburg Community School Corporation is against this annexation http://www.brownsburg.k12.in.us/index.php/communication/annexation-info The Brownsburg Community School Corporation passed a resolution opposing this annexation. The school superintendent, Dr. Jim Snapp, said that if the annexation passes, the school system could lose $400,000 in tax revenue. Instead, that money would be funneled toward the newly annexed areas for services such as police patrols, snowplowing and infrastructure improvements that are now handled by Hendricks County. Snapp said the school system is already burdened by a reduced cash flow of about $350,000 per year because of a tax increment financing (TIFF) district the town passed. The special district diverts commercial property tax money from schools, libraries and other local governments to the town.
“We begin to look at these continual cuts from the town; it’s really making a bad situation worse,” Snapp said. “That’s what we’re trying to tell the town... Please stop.” http://www.indystar.com/article/20130526/NEWS/305260040
Other Indiana towns (i.e.: Noblesville and Zionsville) have recently voted in special school taxation (referendums). We expect this to happen in Brownsburg as a result of the annexation, - a special tax to compensate for the town council raiding school coffers to pay for their initiatives that we don’t want!
This will hit Brownsburg town residents and those in the surrounding areas served by the schools.
