School chiefs back new sales tax
CHAMPAIGN – Champaign County's school superintendents will soon ask their school boards to pass a resolution to put a 1 percent countywide sales tax on the November ballot.
The superintendents met Thursday at the Regional Office of Education in Rantoul to discuss the sales tax. "There was unanimous support for it," said Michael Shonk, superintendent of the Unit 7 school district. "We are all going to take this back to our boards of education."
