HAMILTON, Ind. (WFFT) - Hamilton Community Schools is going to try again to get more money from taxpayers.

The district is collecting signatures to put another operating referendum on the ballot in November. The tax rate on that is still being worked out.

In November 2018, voters rejected a similar referendum. Right now the school has enough money to stay through next school year (2019-2020).
