National Merit Commended Scholars
16 Sycamore High School seniors were named Commended Scholars in the 2019 National Merit Program. The distinction places them in the top 3% of high school seniors nationwide.
Conceptual Designs Released
The district has released conceptual designs but the exact details of the renovations and new buildings have not been decided. If the bond issue is approved in November, the district will engage staff, families, and the community in the design process.
Cost to Taxpayers
The district will responsibly phase-in the millage increase as previous bonds (Montgomery 1998 and Maple Dale 2010) are retired. The 4.0-millage request is effectively a 2.4-mil increase from what is currently being paid. Once fully funded, this will result in an $84 annual increase per $100,000 of property value. The total millage will never exceed 4.4 mills.
