Why aren’t school districts giving taxpayers their money back?

Published February 12, 2021 4:00am ET



In Naperville, Illinois, the school board announced it would distribute $10 million back to taxpayers this year. Yes. A tax refund.

In a news release, Superintendent Dan Bridges told residents that he “understands the great burden many of our families have faced during the COVID-19 Pandemic and hopes that this reimbursement lessens that burden.” The typical family will receive a refund of $200 to $500. Good for Naperville.
