AVON, Ind. — Residents in Avon are casting votes in a special election over funding for the Avon Community School Corporation.

Taxpayers have to decide if they want to continue using property tax dollars to fund a plan first approved in 2018.

Superintendent Scott Wyndham said that's when voters approved a referendum that ultimately allowed Avon to hire 142 more teachers and 31 support staff.

The vote also helped cut down on class sizes and give more opportunities to students, according to Wyndham.

"If we want to continue the great class sizes and the great supports that we've had in our schools since 2018," said Wyndham, "the community has to go and vote yes to do that."
