District 45 students are achieving incredible results — but without additional funding, those gains are at risk.
Without this referendum, the district will be forced to make painful cuts as early as March 2026:
A community-driven plan developed through collaboration throughout 2025.
Avoid maximizing class sizes, laying off teachers, or closing schools.
Work to expand, rather than reduce, academic programming for all students.
Enhance safety & security and increase student resources and support services.
A 27.6 cent tax rate increase providing $4.3 million more annually for our schools.
District leadership has already made significant cuts to keep spending away from the classroom.
6 central office positions eliminated, 7th left unfilled
Spends less per student than the state average and DuPage County peers
Fought for additional federal and state funding
Only 26% of funding from state/federal sources (vs. 36% average in IL)
Keep our schools strong. Keep our community strong.
Keep moving forward.
