If a property tax freeze is part of a new state budget that could mean trouble for local school districts, according to one area superintendent. Sherrard superintendent Alan Boucher says if local school districts can’t increase revenue through local sources, he doubts the state will pick up the difference. So what happens then?
Boucher says local schools are going to eventually get something from the state and he says it’s highly unlikely that any schools will be shutting their doors in the new school year.
Governor Rauner has indicated he wants a property tax freeze as part of a new budget. A special session begins today in Springfield.
