Clinton Schools Renew Lease on Buses

If you want an example of the impact the power station has on Clinton Schools through their tax dollars, look no further than dismissal time at each school building in Clinton and you'll get a glimpse. 
 
Thanks to the power station's tax dollars, the Clinton district is able to keep their fleet of buses up to date and Superintendent, Cut Nettles, indicates the Board of Education last week approved renewing the lease on their fleet thanks to the power plants permanency in the community. 
 
 
According to Nettles, the district's transportation fund is very strong despite the State of Illinois not keeping up with their payments this year.
 
 
The transportation fund in the district's budget is just one of several funds that receive money from the approximately $7-million in tax revenues from the power station. Nettles indicates there is a tax rate for each fund and one gets the money based on that percentage.
