Proposal to tax and tuition plan for St. Charles schools
A reader letter from Mrs. Six argues replacing fixed property tax with a $5.25 per student levy plus pro rata charges for activities and frills. The plan would assess trailer court and rental-unit students fully, owners’ children pay via tax credits, and optional programs like lunches or kindergarten funded by pro rata shares. The letter condemns continued tax-rate hikes and warns only drastic reform can avoid school closures, calling for a broad public discussion.
