The District 153 school board agreed to sell $2.82 million in life safety bonds Feb. 3 to underwrite summer work at Willow School, 1804 Willow Road in Homewood.
Chief School Business Official Eric Trimberger was happy to get a 3.85% interest rate for the two-year loan. The district will receive a $1.4 million property tax relief grant from the state, and another $50,000 Illinois State Board of Education grant awarded to help with school improvements.
