LEMONT, IL — The Lemont-Bromberek School District 113A Board of Education will host its second referendum information session which will be in-person session at Old Quarry Middle School on Feb. 3 at 6:30 p.m. According to a release from the district, the board will share information and answer questions from community members regarding the April 6 referendum. The information session will be held in the gym and space will be allowed for social distancing.You can register for the session online. According to the district, the question on the ballot April 6 would allow the district to reopen Central School, add a full-day kindergarten program and reduce class sizes throughout its schools. An approved referendum would not lead to an effective property tax increase for district residents, the district said in a release. Although the board does propose a 29 cent operating rate increase, the amount would be offset by a reduction in the levy for the debt service fund. As a result, taxpayers would still see a net decrease of approximately 6.8 percent in the District 113A portion of their property tax bills.
