Bonding Power Changes Sought for Unit Districts
Monroe Deming, Jackson County schools head, urged the School Problems Commission to back a constitutional amendment to raise bonding power for community unit districts to 10 percent of assessed valuation. He also sought higher state transportation reimbursements, a double transport tax rate for unit districts, and a building tax rate of .375 percent with a referendum cap at .50 percent. The commission held a regional hearing at Southern Illinois University as Deming argued current limits hinder consolidations and growth.
