Please note that the percentage increases reflect the increase in the money that the school district is requesting from the counties of Macon, Piatt, and Moultrie compared to what the district received in property taxes last fiscal year. The percentage increases are NOT the same as the property owners' tax rates. Please contact Dr. Weidner (eweidner@cgbroncos.org or 217-763-5221 ext. 1401) if you have questions or would like clarification.
