Skokie 68 board adopts 2024 tax levy with line-item allocations
Summary
The board adopted the district's tax levy for 2024, setting allocations across education, operations, transportation, working cash and retirement-related levies; staff said the district stayed within truth-in-taxation thresholds and will submit required certificates.
Skokie School District 68 on Dec. 19 moved to adopt its 2024 tax-levy resolution and the associated certifications. The resolution presented specific levy amounts: $21,975,442 for educational purposes; $6,263,612 for operations and maintenance; $1,118,885 for transportation; $96,364 for working cash; $214,141 for Illinois Municipal Retirement; $535,351 for Social Security and Medicare; $111,621 for tort; and $2,435,849 for special education. Staff told the board the district did not exceed the 5% threshold that would require a separate truth-in-taxation hearing and that the certificate will be submitted to state authorities.
The motion to approve the levy was made during the meeting and staff described the paperwork required for submission and any reductions for tax appeals. Board members asked clarifying questions about the packet documents and timing. The levy resolution will be filed as required by state law and the district will proceed with typical certification and publishing steps.
