Due to the Route 150 gas leak closure, we are rerouting buses to ensure the safe return of all students. This will result in delays and possible changes to bus assignments. We are working with the school buildings to ensure students board the correct buses for their designated stops. We appreciate your patience and understanding. For questions, please contact transportation@tri-valley3.org.

What’s Taxed and What’s Not Under the One-Cent Tax Proposal:
Did you know? The one-cent tax proposed for McLean County only applies to items that are currently subject to Illinois sales tax. Here’s what won’t be taxed:
Groceries
Prescription medications
Vehicles (cars, trucks, boats, RVs, mobile homes)
Farm equipment, parts, and inputs
Personal/professional services (haircuts, accounting, legal services, etc.)
Wholesale purchases
What will be taxed? Only items that are currently taxed under Illinois law. For example:
Prepared foods
Retail purchases (clothing, electronics, etc.)
Online sales
If approved, this tax will help fund critical improvements for our schools while minimizing impact on essential purchases. Learn more about how these funds would benefit our school community by attending our community meeting on March 11, visiting our webpage www.april1cent.info or contacting us directly!
Congratulations to Tri-Valley’s Jackson Ritch on winning 3rd place in the 215 lb weight class at the IESA State Wrestling Meet. Congratulations Jackson & GO VIKINGS!
Job opening in the high school office!
Regional Champs! Congratulations to 7th grade volleyball on winning their IESA 7 3A regional. GO VIKIINGS!
Did you know? When you shop in other counties, you may already be contributing to their local schools. Many neighboring counties, including Sangamon, Peoria, Champaign, and Macon, have already implemented a dedicated one-cent tax to invest in their schools. Now, McLean County has the opportunity to do the same.
If approved, the proposed One-Cent Tax will provide funding for safety upgrades, facility improvements, and property tax relief—ensuring our schools remain competitive and well-equipped to serve over 22,000 students here and across McLean County.

The Elementary team (Iner Baumann, Logan Adams, Jacoby Box, Archer Nancarrow, and Ishaan Lella) placed 4th as well, marking the first time our Elementary team has placed in the top 5!
At Kingsley last weekend, our Upper Primary team (Gage Sylvester, Braden Leifheit, and Runnard Baumann, Nash Johnson, Alfonso Gosalbez) held their ground and just narrowly missed 5th place, placing behind Towanda by only 0.5 point after the final round!
The Elementary Team (Iner Baumann, Logan Adams, and Jacoby Box) won their first trophy of the season, beating out other full 4-player teams to secure a 5th place win!
Last but not least, Chase Johnson represented Tri-Valley in the Junior High division and all by herself, took home the 3rd place team trophy, a much-deserved prize for her stellar sportsmanship and resilience this season! CONGRATS, CHASE!
Our Tri-Valley Vikings will play their final tournament at the State Championship at ISU on March 8-9.
GO VIKINGS!
Sharing the Investment
Did you know? Approximately 35% of purchases in McLean County are made by visitors and travelers.
If the One-Cent Tax is approved, revenue from these purchases will directly support our local schools—helping fund safety improvements, facility upgrades, and property tax relief.
This means non-residents contribute to our schools, easing the financial burden on McLean County property taxpayers while ensuring our students and community benefit from strong, modern schools.
Learn more about how this request could benefit students, staff and our school community by attending our community information meeting on March 11, visiting our webpage www.april1cent.info or contacting us directly.
