Stagg Student Pursues Dreams in Medicine

Senior Daniel Strama plans to make a life out of helping others.

Daniel Strama dreams of becoming a cardiologist, ever since he played with a toy stethoscope as a kid. Sun-Times Media recently featured the Stagg High School senior. Strama completed a certification as an emergency medical technician, according to the feature. His interests at school extend into the sciences: “I’ve always been interested in science. It has been my best course, and I like learning about the body,” said Strama, who said he works hard to maintain his grades. The EMT course is new to Stagg, according to the article.

Hidden Costs Could Plague District 230

As officials examine the 2012 property tax levy, worry grows over shortfalls that might hit the district.

An Orland Park mall's property tax dispute with Cook County and declining funds from the state could cause multimillion-dollar shortfalls for District 230, officials said Thursday. The dire forecast comes as the Consolidated High School District 230 School Board adopted resolution on an estimated property tax levy that includes a $1.4 million increase over what district taxpayers were billed last year. Even with some major shifting of funds, the district needs a 1.5 percent hike for the 2012 levy to help cover costs. The estimated levy, totaling about $100 million, was approved in a 4-1 board vote Thursday night inside Victor J. Andrew High School in Tinley Park. A final levy will need board approval in December before it can be submitted …
