New Lenox District Seeks Bonds and Rate Hike to Trim Deficit
District 122 faces a 405000 deficit and moves to pay teachers via orders up to 1 million dollars issued by New Lenox State Bank. The plan includes retiring debt in six to eight months and issuing about 800000 with 5 percent interest. A back door funding bond option may avoid a referendum while a rate increase could raise 485000 yearly. The board also plans a 1976-77 education fund referendum and tweaks fees for textbooks kindergarten and vocational education.
