DIXON – The Dixon School Board will vote in January on a resolution to put a 1-cent sales tax referendum back on the ballot.

Five of the seven school board members spoke favorably of the resolution at Wednesday’s meeting as Superintendent Michael Juenger reported the other Lee County schools were in favor of passing their its own resolutions.

Countywide, 58.9 percent of voters rejected the tax on the November ballot that would have brought about the construction of a sports and activities complex in Dixon and maintenance upgrades in other county schools.
