On November 3, voters in the Linden Community Schools district will be asked to consider a Sinking Fund Replacement Proposal.
The proposal would replace the district's current 1.1603 mill sinking fund, which expires on December 31, 2026, with a new 10-year sinking fund (2027-2036) at the same 1.1603 mill rate. Visit the district's Sinking Fund Replacement webpage: https://www.lindenschools.org/page/sinking-fund-replacement for more information.
Join us on Monday, October 5, 2026, for an informational meeting on the Sinking Fund Replacement Proposal.
The proposal would replace the district's current sinking fund, which expires on December 31, 2026, with a new 10-year sinking fund (2027-2036) at the same 1.1603 mill rate, resulting in a zero tax-rate increase.
The Linden community has supported a sinking fund for more than 30 years. The Sinking Fund Replacement will help fund eligible safety and security upgrades, facility improvements, technology, transportation, and other capital needs.

Linden Community Schools has become aware of a phishing email being sent to members of our community that impersonates a staff member's name and email identity. In this instance, an email was sent after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from Russ Ciesielski rciesiel@lindenschools.org
DO NOT OPEN OR CLICK ON THE LINK - DELETE IT!
What happened: An email was sent posing as a staff member, using a subject line like "Professional Reference Request." The message asks the recipient to click a link to "schedule" a meeting, which then prompts them to download an unfamiliar app. This is NOT a legitimate communication from Linden Community Schools.
What we're doing: Our IT team is actively investigating this incident and has taken steps to secure our systems. We are working to identify the source, block the sender, and prevent further attempts. We take the security of our community's information seriously and will continue to monitor the situation closely.
What you can do to protect yourself:
Don't click links in unexpected emails, especially ones asking you to download software or an app to "schedule" something.
Messages sent to "undisclosed recipients" or with hidden BCC lists are a common phishing pattern. Legitimate staff emails are typically addressed directly to you.
Be suspicious of vague, flattering requests. Scammers often use a general "you were recommended" framing to lower your guard.
Verify the sender independently. If an email claims to be from a staff member, call the school directly using a number from our official website, not one provided in the email.
Never download software from a link in an unsolicited email.
On November 3, 2026, LCS voters will be asked to vote on replacing the current 1.1603 mill Sinking Fund, which is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2026, with a ten-year (2027-2036) Sinking Fund at the same 1.1603 mill rate. #lindeneaglepride #LCSsinkingfund2026
