To our Rush County Community,
As we continue to monitor developments from the Indiana State Legislature, we want to inform you about the latest impacts of Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) on property tax revenue and how it may affect school funding in the months and years ahead.
While we are still analyzing the full implications, SB 1 will likely result in reduced property tax collections for school corporations across the state. This change affects all taxing entities, including Rush County Schools.
Our goal remains clear and unchanged: to engage in responsible long-range financial planning that maintains a stable total tax rate while ensuring that all of our services, programs, and staffing remain at the highest levels.
We are committed to preserving the quality of education and support we provide to our students and families. Strategic planning will continue to be a priority as we assess how to manage this change and align our resources for long-term success.
Thank you for your continued support, trust, and partnership as we work to do what is best for the students of Rush County Schools.
Sincerely,
Mr. Jim Jameson Ed.S.
Superintendent
Rush County Schools

We would like to show some appriciation for two very hard working team members in our transportation department, Stan Manning and Jamie Carpenter! These two dedicated individuals have helped keep our transportation department running smoothly and efficiently all year; we couldn't do it without them!
Due to flooding and road closures throughout Rush County, Rush County Schools will be on a 2-hour delay tomorrow, Monday, April 7th, to give our buses, students, and parents daylight to see road conditions.
