Officials seek to recoup bus costs for hazardous Vollmer Road route
Rich Township High School District 227 officials say Vollmer Road is unsafe for students walking to school due to ongoing construction. Six Cedar Creek subdivision students would walk Vollmer Road to Rich Central High School, prompting busing at an estimated $2,000 extra transportation cost this year. The board began steps to recoup these costs from the State Board of Education.

Tax bills to rise for Rich Township homeowners
South suburban residents face higher September tax bills as Rich Township homeowners see elevated rates. District 227 leads with a 17 cent increase, the first since its tax referendum, signaling a broader hike across area property levies.
Tax Hike Cuts Rate Increase for Education Fund
Inside Chamber district approval in March 1998 raised the Education Fund tax from 3.8 to 4 per 100 of equalized value, a 4.44 percent rise. Assistant Superintendent Harold Huang notes the increase stayed 8 cents below expectations and could have been worse with higher district demands. See TAX HIKE, Page A-4.
