Summary
The board approved a resolution joining other districts to press Cook County on delayed property‑tax bill distribution; finance staff reported delayed fall collections and said the district received roughly $3.2 million in January but remains $6–8 million short of expected distributions.
The board approved a resolution intended to join other school districts in urging Cook County to address delays in issuing or distributing property‑tax bills and collections.
Finance representatives said fall‑collection distributions remain delayed and that the district received approximately $3.2 million in January but still faces an outstanding distribution shortfall they estimated at about $6–8 million from the fall cycle.
