NOTICE OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF 

CROTHERSVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Owners of real property, and registered voters residing in, the School District of the Crothersville Community Schools (the “School Corporation”), are hereby given notice that the Board of School Trustees of the School Corporation (the “Board”), having held meetings and two separate public hearings pursuant to Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.1 and Indiana Code 5-3-1, on November 4, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. at the School Corporation’s Central Office at 201 South Preston Street, Crothersville, Indiana 47229, adopted a resolution (the “Resolution”) making a preliminary determination to undertake (a)(i) comprehensive HVAC upgrades, renovations, replacements and repairs at all school corporation facilities, (ii) related heating, cooling, air handler system and chiller repairs, equipping and upgrades, (iii) boiler repairs, replacements and upgrades, (iv) related plumbing and electrical renovations, (v) cafetorium sound system upgrades and improvements, (vi) fire alarm upgrades, (vii) parking lot repairs, and (viii) other replated repairs, upgrades and renovations (items ((i) through (viii) collectively, the “Project”), and (b) to the extent permitted by law to take all of the necessary steps to finance all or a portion of the costs of the Project by issuing general obligation bonds of the School Corporation (the “Bonds”).  

The total maximum original aggregate principal amount of the Bonds will not exceed $375,000.  The Bonds will mature not later than January 15, 2027.  Based on the estimated interest rates that will be paid in connection with the Bonds of 6.00% per annum, the total interest cost associated therewith will not exceed $18,825, not taking into account any funds of the School Corporation being available for capitalized interest.  The School Corporation’s certified total debt service fund tax levy for 2024 (which is the most recent certified tax levy) is $904,895 and the School Corporation’s debt service fund tax rate for 2024 (which is the most recent certified tax rate) is $0.5553 per $100 of assessed value.  The School Corporation’s estimated total debt service fund tax levy for 2025 is $1,113,710 and the School Corporation’s estimated debt service fund tax rate for 2025 is $0.6050 per $100 of assessed value.  The estimated total maximum debt service fund tax levy for the School Corporation and the estimated total maximum debt service fund tax rate for the School Corporation after the issuance of the Bonds are anticipated to occur no earlier than 2025 and will be $1,113,710 and $0.6050 per $100 of assessed value, respectively, as a result of the payment of the debt service on the Bonds.  

The estimated amount of the School Corporation’s debt service levy and rate that will result during the following 10 years if the School Corporation issues the Bonds, after also considering any changes that will occur to the debt service levy and rate during that period on account of any outstanding bonds or lease obligations that will mature or terminate during that period is as follows:

Estimated Total Estimated Total

Year Debt Service Levy Debt Service Rate

2024 904,895 0.5553 

2025 1,113,710 0.6050 

2026 719,885 0.3910 

2027 719,885 0.3910 

2028 719,885 0.3910 

2029 719,885 0.3910 

2030 261,885 0.1423 

2031 261,885 0.1423 

2032 261,885 0.1423 

2033 261,885 0.1423 

2034 261,885 0.1423 

2035 261,885 0.1423 

Note: It is anticipated that the Bonds will mature on January 15, 2026

The result of the School Corporation’s current and projected annual debt service payments divided by the net assessed value of taxable property in the School Corporation is 0.6050%.  The result of the sum of the School Corporation’s outstanding long-term debt plus the outstanding long-term debt of other taxing units in the School Corporation divided by the net assessed value of taxable property in the School Corporation is 3.94%.

Any owners of real property within the School District of the School Corporation and/or registered voters residing in the School District of the School Corporation who want to initiate a petition and remonstrance process against the proposed debt service for the Bonds must file a petition requesting the application of a petition and remonstrance process with the Jackson County Voter Registration Office which complies with Indiana Code 6-1.1-20-3.1 not later than thirty (30) days after the date of publication of this notice.
