La Grange D105 board adopts 2025 tax levy and related tax resolutions
Summary
After a Truth in Taxation hearing with no public questions, the Board of Education approved the 2025 tax levy and a package of related resolutions — including a certificate of compliance, a levy-reduction apportionment instruction, a PTELL lesser-amount resolution, and an abatement of certain debt-service taxes — all by unanimous roll call.
The La Grange Elementary School District 105 Board of Education approved the proposed 2025 tax levy and a set of related tax resolutions at its Nov. 17, 2025 meeting following a Truth in Taxation public hearing. The board opened the hearing, heard a presentation of the proposed levy from Mr. Steven Smidl, recorded that "There were no questions," and closed the hearing before taking votes to adopt the levy and associated resolutions.
Board members voted unanimously to approve the Resolution authorizing the 2025 Tax Levy, adopt the Certificate of Compliance with the Truth in Taxation Act, instruct the Cook County Clerk on apportionment of levy reductions, approve levying less than the PTELL maximum for 2025, and adopt a resolution abating taxes for certain debt-service bond series. Motions to adopt the resolutions were made and seconded on the record and passed on unanimous roll calls.
The actions recorded include an open public hearing motion (motion by Bryan White; second Megan Goggin), a close-hearing motion (motion by Kelly Young; second Daniel Barrett), and the subsequent approval motions that appear in the minutes. The abatement resolution specifically references general obligation bond (alternative revenue source) Series 2010C and general obligation refunding school bonds (alternate revenue source), Series 2020. The minutes do not record public comment or questions during the hearing.
Next procedural steps listed in the minutes include attaching a copy of the certificate of tax levy to the meeting minutes and filing required documentation with the county clerk as directed by the approved resolutions.
