Walnut H S board borrows funds and sets warrants
Walnut High School District 508 board met Monday and authorized borrowing 390000 split between education and building funds, issuing tax anticipation warrants of 340000 education and 50000 building. Superintendent Eggleston says warrants exist for cash availability until tax funds arrive. The board also adopted a no smoking policy by Jan 1 1990 with a designated area for staff and no smoking in buildings during events. A self insurance program with Western Illinois School Benefit Association was approved due to a 64.1 percent premium rise, with family plans around 274 per month and single around 100. A progress report on the Applied Economics Program for January, taught by Donna McFadden, expects 19 students to take the class meeting consumer education requirements.

Byron Board Of Education protests county assessment plans
Byron school district has sent a letter to the county assessor to keep options open as it reviews two assessments with its attorneys and board members. ComEd may seek a lower assessment if Byron withdraws its complaint, while the Oregon Park District questions why the county rejected an appraiser’s value and cites the vastly higher Braidwood plant valuation. Fridley says objections at the December 21 meeting could change minds if Byron presents strong arguments.
