Lyons Township High School is increasing its property tax levy by 5 percent next year. (Shutterstock)LA GRANGE, IL – With inflation surging, the Lyons Township High School board this week decided to increase the property tax levy to the maximum allowed under state law. That is expected to bring the district an extra $3.6 million, for a total of $76.8 million. In Illinois, school districts, particularly wealthy ones such as Lyons Township High School, are heavily dependent on property taxes. In 2021, more than 90 percent of the local high school's income came from local sources, the vast majority from property taxes, according to the Illinois Report Card.
