Woodland CCSD 50 board approves 2025 levies, several proclamations and personnel job description; votes listed
Summary
The Woodland CCSD 50 Board of Education approved the district's estimated levy certification for 2025 and a set of routine resolutions and personnel items; recorded votes for multiple motions were unanimous.
The Woodland CCSD 50 Board of Education approved the district's estimated amounts to be levied for 2025, accepted several proclamations and approved a revised assistant director of human-resources job description during its Oct. 21 meeting.
Tax levy certification: The board approved the estimated amounts to be levied for 2025 and directed publication of the Truth-in-Taxation notice. District staff explained the difference between a levy (the request) and an extension (the dollars actually received), and outlined the levy-calculation factors: prior-year extension, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and equalized assessed valuation (EAV) plus new-construction adjustments. Staff said the district will request $84,400,000 in levy dollars and estimated it will ultimately receive about $83,000,083, with the operating extension received in the prior year at about $80,425,000. Debt-service payments for existing bonds were described as about $6,592,000 in the current projection.
Board members approved the levy certification by roll-call vote (motion carried; recorded vote showed all present board members voting in favor).
Other actions: The board approved the consent agenda (with several items pulled to action items as noted in the minutes), a resolution naming Nov. 15, 2025 as School Board Members Day, a proclamation for American Education Week (Nov. 17–21, 2025), and a proclamation recognizing Principals Week/Day in October 2025. The board also approved a revised assistant director of human-resources job description and several routine consent items. All recorded votes were unanimous as reflected in the roll calls (motions carried 7–0 in the recorded roll calls).
Meeting process notes: The board first convened in closed session under personnel and legal exemptions, then returned to open session and completed the listed action items. Several votes recorded roll-call responses by name.
Why this matters: Levy certification instructs county officials to compute property-tax extensions; levy requests do not guarantee the final collection amounts but establish the district’s request and trigger public-notice requirements under Illinois law. The job-description change and the proclamations are routine governance items.
