Next Minooka 201 School Board Meeting and Finance Committee Meeting

The next meeting of the Minooka CCSD 201 school board is Wednesday, November 16, 2011. The Committee of the Whole Meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. in the board room (the old library) at the Minooka Primary Center located at 305 Church Street in Minooka. The Committee of the Whole Meeting will be followed by the regular Board Meeting at 7 p.m. Please be sure to mark your calendars. You can find the agenda for each of the meetings here.

Also, there will be a meeting of the Minooka CCSD 201 Finance Committee on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 (the day before the school board meeting). The Finance Committee meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. in the board room (the old library) at the Minooka Primary Center located at 305 Church Street in Minooka. If you want to have some input into the Minooka CCSD 201 finances, you may want to attend this meeting. You can at least get some information about when and by what amount the school board will eventually seek to raise your property taxes. It may not be this year or next year, but you can be assured that in the next few years the school board will seek, either by a rate hike referendum or a "back door referendum," to raise property tax rates. (For an explanation of a "back door referendum" see here.)
