Jack Martin, Lake County political activist, has proposed an idea for Warren Township High School District 121 to cover its $3 million dollar deficit. The solution is to have parents of each student attending pay $750.

In the wake of a failed tax-increase request last month, Martin recently told Warren District 121 officials they could bring in more cash by charging parents $750 per pupil to cover the deficit. Martin helped lead opposition to the tax increase, which was overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. Backers of the tax-increase proposal said the additional money was needed to cover a $3 million annual shortfall. They said Warren already has trimmed $2 million in costs. |
