Joliet Voters Arm for Two School Funding Proposals
Joliet school district 86 residents face a special election Saturday with two ballots. A $1,950,000 bond proposal funds two new schools, four additions, and Washington Junior High upgrades. An educational tax raise of 13 cents from 96 to 109 per $100 assesses funds. Polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 13 locations across East and West Sides.

Tax Hikes Press on North Illinois School Districts
Bottino notes rising property taxes burden Joliet and similar districts. Evanston leads with a $1.64 total tax rate while Joliet at $1.336 sits near the bottom of six systems. Cicero remains lowest at $1.03, though higher valuations per pupil raise income per pupil. The matter draws concern among board members and the Citizens' Advisory council.
