Franklin City Schools levy defeat and turnout concerns
Franklin County voters showed low turnout in the special election with only 11 percent of registered voters participating. Levy opponents argued the vote did not reflect the people’s voice, while supporters highlighted community outreach efforts despite budget limits. The district later secured a separate five year permanent improvement levy in a different question, winning 68 percent to 32 percent for Lebanon City Schools.
