Dental Safari Company, a mobile dental corporation, travels to schools to provide dental wellness checkups, and urgent care treatment, for children of all ages (pre-K through 12th grade).
We are coming to LGS on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, WES on Thursday, February 13, 2025, and RHS/NMS on Friday, February 14, 2025.
Dental Safari Company is a fully licensed, professional company that believes dental wellness begins with a 3-part approach: Education, Treatment, and Prevention. On February 12th-14th, your child/children will receive a visual exam (no x-rays) by a licensed dentist, a cleaning, Fluoride treatment, and sealants as needed.
All Children Are Eligible:
* see consent form - $75 fee
PLEASE NOTE: If your child is in Kindergarten, 2nd, 6th, or 9th grade, the State of Illinois does require a dental exam to be on file. This appointment fulfills that obligation.
Following your child’s treatment, a letter will be sent home indicating the treatment your child received during our visit as well as follow-up treatment he/she may need.
To take part in this service, register online, or complete the consent form and return to the school nurse by February 5, 2025.
If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse.
Tax Levy Information for Public
Frequently Asked Questions:
The amount of money that a taxing body (school district, county, municipality, etc.) requests from property tax.
The final dollar amount approved to be given to the taxing body.
The EAV refers to the “equalized assessed value” of property; generally, one-third of the projected market value of a property ($100,000 property has an EAV of $33,333); for a school district, the total EAV is the sum of the EAV of all property within the district boundary. These amounts are determined by local property assessments.
Property taxes make up more than two-thirds of Robinson CUSD #2’s funding. Each year, the district, requests a tax levy increase to match the projected EAV growth in the district. This year’s projected EAV increase is 9.22%. Over the course of the past several years, districts have seen an influx of federal funds. Those federal funds are no longer available for districts to use.
By law, any taxing body that levies an increase at or above 5% from the previous year is required to notify the public of the request. This notice is known as a Truth in Taxation notice.
School districts typically request a rate higher than the projected growth to ensure that they are able to receive all of the tax revenue that is allowable by law. State funding formulas are established in a way that forces districts to maximize their local tax revenue in order to receive all of their available state funding. In other words, under-levying locally could also translate to a loss of state funds. This year’s levy represents an increase of 10.32%. Again, this request is directly related to the projected EAV growth of 9.22%. This will allow us to maximize revenue from the growth in EAV, while minimizing the effect on the local tax rate. Please keep in mind that a 10.32% levy does not equal a 10.32% tax increase.
The tax levy is based on the EAV projection. In other words, this number may look differently after final calculations are received. Certain funds that are levied for have rates that have been legally established. School districts may not levy above those limiting rates. For example, the Education Fund has a limiting rate of 2.00%. If the EAV projection is lower than anticipated, the school district will only receive 2.00% of the EAV, not the dollar amount on the levy. This is also true of several other funds that appear on the levy.
The Illinois Report Card is an annual report released by the Illinois State Board of Education that shows how the state, and each school and district, are progressing on a wide range of educational goals. The Report Card offers a complete picture of student and school performance in order to inform and empower families and communities as they support their local schools.
