A hearing will be held on such petition and the report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction before said County Superintendent of Schools, McHenry County, Illinois on Friday, November 1st, 1963 at 7:30 p.m. in the Woodstock Community High School, Woodstock, Illinois. Dated this 11th day of October, 1963. RICHARD L. TAZEWELL County Superintendent of Schools Report of SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION The Honorable Richard L. Tazewell County Superintendent of Schools McHenry County Woodstock, Illinois This will acknowledge receipt from you of notice that a petition has been filed by at least 500 voters residing in a territory having a population of not less than 30,000 p?rs o n s a n d n o t m o r e t h a n 1,500,000 persons, and an equalized assessed valuation of not less than $75,000,000.00 containing signatures of legal voters from at least threefourths of the school districts or parts of districts in the territory which maintain grades 9 to 12 inclusive; that said petition requests the calling of an election in accordance with Sections 13-25 through 13-33 of the School Code of Illinois for the purpose of voting for or against the establishment of a junior college school district in the following described territory, to wit: All ol the territory located and situated in the , County of McHenry, State of Illinois; That said petition has set forth the maximum tax rates for educational or building purposes which the proposed district shall be authorized to levy, which rates are fixed hi such petition at .09 per cent upon full, fair cash value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, for educational purposes and .05 per cent for building purposes and the purchase of school grounds. In compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 13-26 of the School Code of Illinois, I have, in cooperation with you as County Superintendent of Schools of McHenry County, Illinois, which includes all of said territory, studied the territory of the proposed district and the area within and adjacent to the same. In addition, I have examined the proposal in order to determine whether the proposed district will be able to provide a recognized school program for the junior college school district under conditions set forth in Section 13-25 through Section 13-33 of the School Code of Illinois. We have examined copies of a community college study, a survey of the conditions in M c H e n r y C o u n t y , I l l i n o i s school districts now operating in said territory, prepared by the Mclienry County Community College and completed in September, 1963. It is my opinion that the need for a junior college exists in the territory described, and that the same may be established and maintained at reasonable cost, meeting the probable enrollment and curriculum needs. I consider it possible for the proposed junior college district to operate a recognized junior c o l l e g e p r o g r a m u n d e r t h e conditions found to exist in my study. These conditions are as follows: An enrollment of 300 in the first year of operation increasing to 600 or more in 1966; Maintenance of an equalized assessed valuation approximately $377,000,000 in 1963, inassessed valuation will produce approximately $339,300 per year for educational purposes and $188,500 per year for building purposes and the purchase of school ground. This will, with an enrollment of 300 students, provide a per capita expenditure for educational purposes of approximately $1131, which is more than adequate at the level of precreasing to a projected estimate of more than $500,000,000 in 1971; tax rates not to exceed .09 per cent upon full, fair cash value for educational purposes and .05% for building purposes; a continuation of the present or higher level of state aid support for junior college operations and stat u t o r y p e r m i s s i o n t o charge tuition rates not to exceed 33% per cent of per capita costs. In terms of local taxes, the maximum tax rates proposed when applied to 1963 equalized sent costs, when supplemented by revenues from tuition charges and state aid distribution. The alternative methods of providing a desirable two-year junior college program for the area are: 1) to rely on existing educational institutions now serving the area, all of which are both selective and expensive, and provide at present no junior college curricula; and 2) to create junior colleges as additions to existing high school districts in the area. The first of these alternatives will not improve present conditions which do not furnish adequate junior college opportunity for the post-high school students of the area, and the second alternative, because of unequal distribution of population and serious duplication and fragmentation of curricula would restrict the junior college program provided while increasing costs at the same time. It is my opinion that the proposed junior college school district would enable a board of education to provide a better educational program for all of the children of the area, than the present districts, and that legal growth in geographic area is possible, so as to provide in the future a better than minimum junior college program. From the facts submitted to this office, It is my opinion that the territory involved is compact and contiguous and that the petition and the findings of the County Superintendent of Schools of McHenry County, Illinois, after a hearing thereon, give legal authority for submitting the question of the organization of a junior college school district to the voters of saidv territory. * You are hereby authorized to publish this report in a newspaper of general circulation in the above territory and to call an election according to law for the purpose of voting "For" or "Against" the proposition to establish a junior college school district in the territory above described. All of which is respectfully submitted. (Signed by) RAY PAGE Superintendent of Public Instruction State of Illinois Dated this 7th day of October 1963. (Pub.
