Did You Know? Federal Dollars Help Keep WCHCS Connected

Washington Court House City Schools uses the federal E-Rate Program to help pay for internet service and the network equipment that keeps our schools connected. E-Rate is a federal program that helps schools and libraries across the country cover these costs.

Today’s schools run on reliable technology. It powers classroom lessons, student Chromebooks, online state testing, security and safety systems, phones, building-wide Wi-Fi and secure access to student and staff records. Much of what schools are required to do today simply couldn’t happen without it.

Over the past three funding years, WCHCS has received more than $251,000 in E-Rate funding. That’s outside money paying for essential services, which helps local tax dollars go further.

Before they knocked on your door, they practiced on ours! 🍭

For this , we’re looking back at Mrs. Darr’s class making the rounds at Cherry Hill. Our Li’l Lions visited every classroom to practice trick-or-treating, with a “please” and “thank you” at every stop. 💙

💙🗳️ Election Day looks a little different when you're a Li’l Lion!

Students at the Blue Lion Early Learning Center got a hands-on lesson in how elections work, complete with voting booths, ballots, a ballot box, and their very own “I Voted” stickers!

And judging by those smiles, our Li’l Lions were pretty proud to cast their very first ballots! 💙🦁

Know Before You Go

We’ve covered a lot over the past few weeks. Here’s the short version of what matters most about the 1% Earned Income Tax Renewal on the ballot this Tuesday, November 3.

It’s a renewal, not a new tax. Voters first approved this tax in 2020, and our community has been paying it since 2021.

The rate stays the same. It’s 1% today, and it would remain 1%. No increase.

It only applies to earned income. That means wages, salaries, and self-employment income.

Retirees don’t pay on retirement income. Social Security, pensions, and other retirement income are not taxed.

This is NOT a property tax. This tax is separate from property taxes.

It continues what’s already in place. The current tax has been in effect since 2021 and expires December 31, 2027. If renewed, it would continue for seven more years, starting January 1, 2028.

Thank you for following along with us each week. Because informed communities make informed decisions.

Their families had a good reason to be proud. 💙

These Belle Aire Blue Lions were recognized for responsibility and integrity at last month's Blue Lion Pride Award celebration.

Doing what’s right and being someone others can count on deserves recognition, and we’re glad their families could join them for Donatos pizza, chips, and a little time to celebrate together!

Once upon a time at Cherry Hill Primary…

Our very own kindergarten teachers brought classic fairy tales and folktales to life with live performances of The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billy Goats Gruff! Our students enjoyed a little storybook magic, complete with famous lines like “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down!” and the unforgettable clip-clop, clip-clop of the Three Billy Goats Gruff! 🐷 🐐

Two of our very own Board of Education members, Wendy Downing and JT Bunch, even joined in the fun, helping our teachers bring these timeless tales to life!

At Cherry Hill, learning comes to life through storytelling, imagination, and a little theatrical fun! 💙

💙 No students today, but there's still plenty of Blue Lion pride in our halls!

Our WCHCS administrative team showed up decked out in blue for today's community-wide BLUE OUT! 🦁

Because being a Blue Lion is about more than what happens in our classrooms. It's about the people, the pride, and the community that stands together.

Now it's your turn, Washington Court House! Let's see your BLUE! 💙

There is a lot of information out there about the Renewal of the 1% Earned Income Tax on the November 3rd ballot, so let's start with the basics.

We've put together this Fast Facts guide with some of the most important things to know — including what the tax is, who pays it, and how local dollars help make it possible for our students.

Want to dig a little deeper? The Treasurer's Office webpage is your go-to source for district financial information, including budgets, forecasts, financial reports, and additional information about the income tax renewal.

Visit the WCHCS Treasurer's Office to learn more about the levy renewal or submit questions to the treasurer’s office here: https://tinyurl.com/yvmu4hne.

We want our community to have the facts and understand how our schools are funded, where our dollars go, and how those dollars support our students every day.
