[June 11, 2012]
Logan-Mason-Menard Regional
Superintendent of Schools Jean Anderson's office has received the
third payment of the Logan County sales tax for school facilities.
The $155,850.51 payment covers the sales month of March and was
received last week.
|
The funds go to all public school districts that have territory
in Logan County, based on the number of students who live in that
territory. Distributions are based on housing and enrollment
numbers that school officials reported to the Illinois State Board
of Education for the fall of 2011. The funds may be used by school
districts for facility purposes outlined in the School Code portion
of the Illinois Compiled Statutes. State law directs the regional
education offices to distribute the funds and allows them to hold
the funds in their accounts for up to 30 days. School districts
maintaining agreements with Regional Office of Education 38 permit
the office to keep interest earned on the funds during that time.
When no agreement is present, funds for that particular district are
deposited in a non-interest-bearing account until distribution.
Interest accrued will be used to provide services to the school
districts in the region, including the additional work and
inspections resulting from expected construction, renovation and
maintenance projects. The school districts receive a report on how
much interest money is earned and how it is being spent.
March sales tax funds received June 7 will be distributed to the
districts on or before June 29.
