Spent much of this week telling people in person, but now for a wider announcement. My time at the KT is coming to a close. My final day is Monday. Just wanted to say thank you to the community at large for welcoming me to Kokomo. I've enjoyed it so much, I'm sticking around :)

Zionsville Community Schools will move forward with a new operating referendum. The school board approved a ballot question tonight that seeks to raise up to $21M per year for 8 years. Funding will pay for 1 in 3 teachers. Voters will decide in November.

At McDonald's, having lunch, and there's a group of boys arguing sports a few tables over. This makes me so happy. The kids are alright.

I'm also doing a little Carmel school coverage. Here's my follow up on referendum talks happening at Carmel. Have heard from both Carmel and Zionsville schools there will likely be a record number of referendum on the November ballots this year as schools grapple with SEA 1.

Zionsville Community Schools will go forward exploring putting a referendum on the November ballot. This operating fund would fund 1 in 3 teachers and seeks to levy up to $21 million per year. Here's what I wrote last week: youarecurrent.com/2026/04/08…

ZCS's current referendum expires in 2027, however a state law changes when a referendum can be put on a ballot (even years, general elections only). If the referendum is not put on this year's ballot, ZCS would have to wait until 2028, a year after the referendum expires.

Heard it from two different school districts, but expect a record number of referendums this fall. The new property tax legislation is hitting schools' revenue hard.

GF got me a standing desk for my birthday. Mom got me a new TV for Christmas. Purposely set my week up so I could be home today. Basketball on the screen. Teenage me would think I was so cool.

The way this Miami OH team has grinded out cold stretches and adjusted to the SMU defense in the second half has been impressive. More than worthy of being in the tournament.

I had to drive home from Zionsville tonight. That sucked.
Yesterday, I was wearing shorts. Today, my car door handle was frozen shut.

Went to down to the final seconds. What a game! Kids fought their hearts out last couple nights. Speaks to the make up of the team and coaches. Can't be mad at that. And credit to Harrison they weathered everything Kokomo threw at them.

I swear, every Moos bucket felt clutch. One of those games where the sum was greater than the parts.
Caleb Taflinger played his best varsity game ever and finished with a career-high 10 points and 7 rebounds. Austin Moos dropped 5 of 7 shots for 13 points and played killer defense. Erivon Burks did exactly what he needed to do tonight even though his three's were not hitting. Jamael Cosley didn't hit a bucket but was 5 for 6 from the charity stripe and grabbed eight board.
