Did you know? When you shop in other counties, you may already be contributing to their local schools. Many neighboring counties, including Sangamon, Peoria, Champaign, Logan and Macon, already have the one-cent tax. Now, McLean County voters will determine if the tax is approved for local schools.
If approved, the proposed One-Cent Tax will provide funding for safety upgrades, facility improvements, and property tax stabilization.
Learn more about the sales tax by attending our community information meeting on March 10th @ 5:00 p.m., visiting our webpage www.april1cent.info or contacting us directly

7th Grade Volleyball Regional Tournament
It was a great weekend at the IESA State Chess Meet with 8 rounds spanning a total of 14 hours. All of our players earned wins, with the team finishing 30th out of 59 teams competing in the 8th grade division. Casey Williams finished with a team high of 4.5 points, followed closely by Lane Malone with 4 points. Aaden Kiper and Jasper Houzenga finished with 3 points, and 6th grader Ethan Jones finished with 2 points which is even more impressive considering he played two grades up in the 8th grade division. These boys represented the school and community proudly! #SpartanPride

Our brains are great at using past experiences to make quick decisions on the fly, but these shortcuts can also lead to bias. "Confirmation bias" is our brain's tendency to seek out information that confirms things we already think we know. Help your students learn to recognize this when they encounter news online, as a way to examine competing opinions and ideas and to avoid drawing questionable conclusions.
