CHAMPAIGN – The Champaign school board will vote Monday night on putting a 1 percent countywide sales tax on the November ballot.
If it approves the resolution, voters will have their say on the issue in November. State law provides that districts representing 51 percent of the county's school enrollment can place the tax question on the ballot. Eleven other districts in the county have already approved such a measure, and Champaign's approval would push the enrollment percentage over the 51 percent.
