Property Tax Stability: How will this happen?
Approximately 35% of purchases in McLean County are made by people who do not live here. This means non-property owners and visitors will help fund local schools, easing the burden on property tax payers. This funding source provides additional revenue to schools to reduce the reliance on property taxes.

Today's Activities
In their second meet of the season, the OHS track teams competed yesterday in the Rantoul Indoor Invitational at Univ. of Illinois’ indoor track facility. The young boys’ team had many solid early-season performances, indicating that it’s going to be another exciting season to watch. Most of the athletes’ times and distances were well ahead of where they were last year at this point in the season. Season-best performances came from Kaleb Jacobs in the 60 m dash (7.77 sec), CJ Moore in the 800 m run (2:12.93), and all four runners in the 1600 m relay…….Kadyn Wilcox (55.5 sec), Kaleb Jacobs (55.7), CJ Moore (56.9), and TJ Gellner (56.7), with this group dropping nearly 4 seconds off of their time from two days previously. On the field events side, we had some promising season-debut performances in the triple jump. TJ Gellner jumped 36’ 2”, which was only 7” off of his best jump at the end of the season last year. Senior Chase Ragar(see attached picture), who was a state qualifier in that event last year and came within an inch of breaking the school record, earned the 6th place spot and started the year off with a leap of 40’ 6” (3 FEET FURTHER THAN HIS FIRST TIME JUMPING LAST YEAR). The boys’ track team will be back in action this coming Saturday at ISU’s Horton Fieldhouse.
