Rantoul districts send out letters about TIF district concerns

RANTOUL – Rantoul schools sent home letters to parents this week warning about the ramifications of the creation of a second tax increment financing district.

The letter, jointly signed by the school boards of Rantoul Township High School and Rantoul City Schools, expressed concerns that tax dollars intended for the schools might be shifted to nonschool projects within the district.
