Lake school district outlines November 3 tax referendum
Lake County Schools says a November 3 referendum proposes continuing school-safety and mental-health funding and adding support for teacher compensation.
What the record says
The district’s September 11 notice describes continuing an existing 0.75-mill property tax for school safety, mental-health services and related resources, with an additional proposed 0.25 mills for teacher recruitment and retention. If voters approve the combined 1-mill tax, the district says it would apply from July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2031.
