Warren Township High School s athletic programs are on track to be eliminated by the 2023-24 school year, along with many classes and clubs, after District 121 voters voted down a property tax hike, Superintendent John Ahlgrim said Wednesday.
District voters were asked on Tuesday s ballot to approve adding 35 cents to the tax rate to raise about $7.75 million a year, which would have amounted to $295 more in annual property taxes for the owner of a home valued at $250,000.
