STERLING – Whiteside County school officials considering a 1 percent sales tax hike will learn more at a meeting Wednesday night at Morrison High School.

Representatives from Stifel, Nicolaus and Co., a brokerage and investment banking firm, will help local superintendents and school board members understand the process of getting the measure on the ballot and the legal use of funds generated by such an increase, Sterling Superintendent Tad Everett said.

Districts would be able to use the funds on building projects only, per state law.
