EVANSVILLE — Hold up a minute, said Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. board member Chris Kiefer.
The board was agreeing to pay $14,000 to Indianapolis-based Policy Analytics, LLC, which says it specializes in “economic research, public finance, and policy analysis” to help school leaders make good decisions.
Why? EVSC wanted Policy Analytics to conduct what its May 18 school board agenda called, “a comprehensive analysis of the district’s property tax base and long-term revenue outlook.” The study would include assessed valuation trends, tax base forecasts, circuit breaker modeling and projections of net property tax revenues.
