JT4L in Action
Empowering Communities with JT4L
Dear Friends of JTLSD
In January 2025, the Jefferson Township Board of Education passed the necessary resolutions to put a 1.5% School District Earned Income Tax levy on the May 6, 2025 ballot. Passage of this levy is critical to the future of our students and Jefferson Township!
Any individual or estate that receives income while a resident of a JTLSD is subject to the school district earned income tax.
An earned income tax is based on your “earned income” and includes only the following items: employee compensation such as wages and salaries, and self-employment income from sole proprietorships and partnerships. “Earned income” does not include items such as retirement income, interest, dividends and capital gains, and unemployment benefits.
The 1.5% earned income tax levy is expected to generate about $1.4 million per year and would cost someone earning $50,000 and living in the JTLSD $750 annually. The funds will go towards operating expenses, such as electricity, heat and salaries. The last time the Jefferson Township Local School District had new levy funds was 2008 – 17 years ago!
