In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This question asks voters in Litchfield Public Schools to approve an increase of $415 per pupil in referendum revenue, which is extra general operating money that voters approve for the district. It comes from a local property tax and, in some districts, partly from state aid. The increase would last ten years starting with taxes payable in 2027, and would rise each year with inflation beginning with taxes payable in 2028, unless revoked or reduced as provided by law. A YES vote approves the increase. A NO vote means it is not approved. The ballot notes that a YES vote is a vote for a property tax increase.
Fiscal impact
$415 per pupil increase for 10 years from taxes payable in 2027, rising with inflation from 2028.
