Komarek SD 94 board approves 2025 tax levy; requests 3.99% aggregate levy
Summary
The Komarek SD 94 Board of Education voted 6–0 to approve its 2025 tax levy resolution; business coordinator said the district will request a 3.99% aggregate levy though actual collections likely mirror a ~2.9% result due to county redistribution timing.
The Komarek School District 94 Board of Education voted unanimously to approve the 2025 tax levy resolution during its Dec. 9 meeting.
President Chris Waas moved to approve the levy and Melissa Obrock seconded; the board recorded a 6–0 roll call vote with member Holly Neumann absent. "TO APPROVE THE 2025 TAX LEVY AND READ THE ATTACHED LEVY RESOLUTION," the motion stated in the minutes. Business Coordinator Mike Pustelnik told the board the district will request a 3.99% aggregate levy but expects actual collections near 2.9% as a result of how Cook County is distributing funds this year and because the district issued tax anticipation warrants to manage cash flow.
Why it matters: the levy sets the ceiling the district may attempt to collect for operating needs and capital obligations. Board approval authorizes the administration to finalize the levy paperwork; the minutes record no public comments during the levy hearing. The board’s vote was presented as a ministerial approval of the levy resolution rather than a change in program or immediate budget adoption.
Next steps: the administration will finalize levy documents and submit them to the county as required by statute. The district’s financial statements and fund balances were reviewed elsewhere on the agenda.
