TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — 64% of people who voted in a recent WTWO/WAWV poll said they do not agree with the Vigo County Council’s decision not to approve an oversight board for the Vigo County School Corporation.
The Vigo County School Corporation wanted the Vigo County Council to establish a special board that would help oversee funding and improvements of Vigo County schools.
The school corporation also hoped the Vigo County Council would consider helping to pay for upgrades at local schools after the passing of Senate Bill 382 by Indiana lawmakers.
During Tuesday night’s Vigo County Council, members voted 4-3 to approve an ordinance that prevents the county from creating an oversight board. The ordinance would also prevent the council from giving any money to the school corporation without a voter referendum.
Since then, the decision has stirred up controversy and debate.
On Wednesday, WTWO/WAWV posted a poll for views asking them if they “agreed with the council’s decision not to approve an oversight board for VCSC.”
A total of 366 people voted in that poll, with 234 people voting that they do not agree with the decision. This is 64% of the total votes.
