Westfield voters have invested in WWS before — and the district has delivered.
For 16 years, Westfield has chosen to invest locally in its schools. That investment has let WWS keep pace with growth — adding students, teachers, programs, and safety supports — without lowering expectations or losing the small class sizes and strong educators that define the district today.
2010 — Operating Referendum — Approved by voters
2016 — Operating Referendum — Approved by voters
2022 — Operating Referendum — Approved by voters (67.8% YES vote)
2026 — Invest in WWS stability on Nov. 3
Westfield has consistently supported WWS.
However, nearby Avon Community Schools is a case study of what happens when that support drops.
Avon saw ISTEP/ILEARN scores decline after a referendum failed in 2011 — and saw scores recover after voters approved one in 2018. Avon also saw dramatic increases in class sizes.
It's a reminder that these votes have shown up in classroom outcomes elsewhere in Central Indiana, not just district budgets.
