District 158 passes tax levy

The Huntley Unit District 158 school board recently passed its annual tax levy. The district will ask for roughly $58.7 million this year, an increase of about 10 percent over last year's tax collections of about $53.4 million. District 158 will only collect about $56.7 million, a 6 percent increase over last year, because it cannot raise taxes faster than the rate of inflation. The tax rate will rise from $4.03 to $4.05 per $100 of equalized assessed value, according to district estimates.
