Dixon board adopts 2025 tax levy, abates bond series, accepts FY25 audit and approves DHS roof bid in unanimous votes
Summary
At its Dec. 17 meeting the Dixon Board of Education unanimously approved tax abatement resolutions for series 2018A and 2019A, adopted the 2025 tax levy, accepted the FY25 audit, advanced policy issue 120 on first reading, approved a Dixon High School roof bid and approved mid‑year graduates and personnel items.
The Board of Education District No. 170 voted unanimously on multiple fiscal and operational actions at its Dec. 17 meeting, approving tax abatements, adopting the 2025 tax levy, accepting the district audit and approving facility and personnel measures.
Resolutions abating taxes for tax year 2025 on bond series 2018A and series 2019A passed on motions recorded in the minutes and were each approved by unanimous roll call votes. The board then approved the tax year 2025 tax levy as presented; the minutes record the levy approval as a unanimous vote.
The board accepted the fiscal year 2025 audit presented by WIPFLI. The motion to accept the audit passed unanimously. The minutes record that Becca Powell presented the audit report but do not include detailed findings or financial adjustments in the text of the minutes.
The board also approved the first reading of Board policies (issue 120) and approved a roof bid for Dixon High School. Both actions passed unanimously by roll call. The minutes show the roof bid motion was approved without recorded opposition.
Other actions recorded on Dec. 17 include approval of mid‑year graduates and a set of personnel approvals (new hires and status changes), all approved by unanimous vote. Chief School Business Official Marc Campbell noted in his business report that the district has received invoices for bond payments totaling roughly $3.5 million that will be paid in January; the minutes provide that figure as an approximate amount and do not include additional budget detail.
The board recorded no votes opposed and no abstentions on the items noted in the minutes. The actions taken are procedural and budgetary steps the district will carry into early 2026.
