Sauk Valley College faces tax bill cut impact on funding
SVCC board member Richard Groharing warned SB 1402 could strip $417,000 from Sauk Valley College if property tax relief passes, offset by a $25 million state relief measure aimed at homeowners and seniors. He noted the recent $15 million income tax surcharge for colleges and urged constituent outreach. The board also moved to spend $332,000 on roof repairs and seek $100,000 in federal funds for a student support program aiding 150 high risk students. A new career counselor, Terry Simmons, was hired for the Dixon Correctional Center program, bringing prior experience as an NIU adviser and Lake County probation officer.
