Since the whopping 2005 Property Tax Levy increase D211 has slipped academically to 69th in the state while its teachers are the 3rd highest paid at 94 thousand per year on average. The District has a bond debt of 33,000,000.00 and last year in the middle of the worst recession/depression since 1929 raised our Tax Levy another 1,200,000.00. It costs taxpayers 14,071.00 per year per student in D211, “OUCH”. Clearly, more money does not equal a better education. D211s tax and spend philosophy needs to stop now. The Property tax payers in Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg and Palatine cannot let this go unchallenged because we can no longer afford the bill. Our homes have significantly decreased in value and yet our tax bills have gone sky high. Right now the Board of Education in D211 has plans to increase the 193,000,000.00 Levy “Again!!” Call or write and ask them to stop. www.d211.org/robb.shtml The schools in Dist. 211 have gotten more than enough tax money, “193,000,000.00” and yet education has slipped.
