Dear Families,
DISTRICT UPDATES
REFERENDUM UPDATE
Remember--the D114 ballot proposal asks you to keep the tax rate where it is...a ZERO
RATE CHANGE...and we will be able to:
*Improve safety with secure entrances at both schools and a new roof and sprinklers at
Stanton
*Increase teacher salaries so we are no longer the lowest paid in Lake County
*Provide our students will updated and rigorous learning materials
Be sure to look on the BACK of the ballot--our question is the only one on the back!
Did you know our teachers are currently the LOWEST paid in Lake County?
