OUTCOMES FOR OUR KIDS, COMMUNITY, AND PROPERTY VALUES:
✓ Our schools would be able to support students by avoiding deeper academic cuts and restoring recent program cuts such as reading support, advanced academics, fine arts programming, and student intramurals and clubs.
✓ District 45 would strengthen its financial future while protecting home values and preserving the strong schools that contribute to the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
BALLOT PROPOSAL
On Nov. 3, voters will decide on a proposed increase to District 45’s tax rate. The proposal would increase the rate by 26.7 cents per $100 of equalized assessed value and generate approximately $4.4 million in additional annual revenue for the district. For a home with an estimated market value of $350,000, the projected tax impact would be approximately $299 per year, or about $25 per month.
WHAT WILL VOTERS SEE ON THE BALLOT?
The following question will appear on the November 3, 2026 election ballot:
