NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — Noblesville Schools says it’s launched a website called Dollars + $ense to provide transparency on school finances and funding.

The website was designed to offer people access to detailed information about the school district’s finances, including how Indiana schools are funded and updates on district costs, spending, and financial achievements.

The site includes district financial highlights, links to financial documents, and explanations of how school finance works at federal, state, and local levels.

People can also learn about how different funding buckets are allocated and spent, as well as how referendums provide added taxes for operations.

Noblesville Schools is planning to address the expiration of its current operating referendum at the end of 2026. District leaders will likely decide about a new referendum sometime this year. The current referendum was approved in 2016 and expanded in 2018 to fund priorities including safety, mental health, and teacher compensation.

The site also addresses frequently asked questions, such as efforts to lower high property taxes, and provides charts with actual financial data for each fund.
