Troy School District 30-C, serving areas including Plainfield, Shorewood, Joliet, and parts of Channahon in Illinois, is contemplating a property tax increase of at least $211 per year for median-value homes to tackle issues of overcrowding and inadequate facilities. This proposal, termed a 'Modest Tax Impact' by the district, will be discussed in community meetings scheduled for April 23, April 27, and May 5 at the district offices in Joliet. The district has not sought voter-approved funding in 20 years, making this a significant move. Proposed improvements include constructing a new pre-kindergarten early learning center and converting administrative offices into a multipurpose space at Troy Middle School. If the referendum is not approved, the district warns of continued overcrowding, larger class sizes, and challenges in recruiting quality staff.
