LOCAL FUNDING IS CRUCIAL TO LEBANON’S CONTINUED SUCCESS

• Local property taxes are the primary funding source for educating Lebanon’s students.

• 60% of the district’s funding comes from local property taxes because the state funding formula for public education does not provide enough money for the district to properly educate its students.

• State funding provides less than half of what it costs to educate a student. Local property taxes cover the rest of the cost.

THIS IS A LEVY RENEWAL, NOT NEW MONEY

A GOOD VALUE

Tailgating favorites

• Grab A Choice Spot: Tailgating veterans know to choose a choice spot in the parking lot to secure extra room for their shindig. That last spot in a row means more party space, as does any spot adjacent to a car-free or grassy area. If you are hosting guests inside your home, make sure there are plenty of seats with a great view of the game so everyone can see the action.

Are you ready for some football?

Whether you’re hosting a tailgate outside the stadium or a party at home for the big game, here are a few tips to ensure it will be an event your friends and family remember:

• It's all about the food: Do prep work in advance so you can join in the reveling. Fire-up the grill early, so food is ready an hour before game time.

• Kick Up Condiments: Rough & tumble football fans like some heat. Spicy peppers and relishes will give your grub an extra boost.

• Keep It Dry: Always keep a tarp or tent on hand to protect your food, friends and fun should the weather turn.

• Clean Up Your Mess: Leave your spot clean. Keep plenty of garbage bags available. Wipe down all surfaces.

Bottom line, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose it’s how you prep for the game.
