The West Chicago School District 33 board approved a 2025 property tax levy estimating $53,554,420 in property taxes, a 7.82% increase over 2024, in a 6–0 roll call vote Dec. 18. Board members said the levy supports district operations and upcoming capital needs.
The Board of Education of School District 33 adopted its 2025 property tax levy on Dec. 18, approving estimated property taxes to be levied of $53,554,420, a 7.82% increase from the prior year.
The motion to adopt the levy was made by Board member Morgan Banasiak and seconded by Chad McLean. On roll call the board voted 6 ayes, 0 nays (Balgeman, Banasiak, McLean, Garcia, Hernandez, Denton; Doyle absent). The levy figure and percent increase were entered into the official minutes.
The board did not record an extended public discussion in the minutes at the time the levy was adopted. The district’s executive director of business and operations provided financial reports during the meeting that included the district’s recent receipt of Evidence-Based Funding, which factors into broader budget planning.
The levy adoption sets the preliminary levy amount the district will file with county authorities; the final taxes collected depend on county equalization, tax extensions and exemptions. The board recorded the vote and placed the levy on the district’s official meeting record.
