Hononegah Pool - It's Time

I want to get FACTS out about the upcoming referendum.

Hononegah High School has a current tax base of 2.6083%. Since we are a high school only district, then we need to combine our tax rate with our feeder schools to give a comparison to other schools in our area.

Here are the current tax bases for schools in our area in order by percentage.

Harlem = 8.3864
North Boone = 8.3809
Durand = 8.2798
Rockford = 7.9379
Winnebago = 7.4277
Pecatonica = 7.4247
South Beloit = 7.1259

Hononegah + Prairie Hill = 7.1727
Hononegah + Shirland = 6.7497
Hononegah + Kinnikinnick = 6.6812
Hononegah + Rockton = 6.4960

As you can see we are below every school in our area with the exception of those living in the Prairie Hill district and they are only above South Beloit.

So - What will the impact of the referendum be? The referendum would increase our tax base by .477% which means we would be at a 3.0853%

Here is the tax bases if the referendum were to pass in the upcoming election.

Hononegah + Prairie Hill = 7.6197
Hononegah + Shirland = 7.2267
Hononegah + Kinnikinnick =7.1582
Hononegah + Rockton = 6.9730
