November 2024 Building Bond Referendum

At Cook County Schools, our mission is to motivate, teach, and inspire every student to excel in academics, athletics, and the arts. We are committed to identifying opportunities to improve education for our students and staff.

Beginning in 2023, our district completed comprehensive assessments of our school building and held nine community listening sessions to identify our top facilities’ challenges and develop a plan to address them.

To improve safety, accessibility, and learning and activity spaces in our schools, Cook County Public Schools will hold a building bond referendum on Tuesday, November 5. Residents will consider three bond questions that seek to invest $36.78 million to ensure our school meets today's educational standards and remains a healthy and safe place for current and future students to learn and grow.

Your voice matters in this important decision for our schools. We encourage all residents to explore this website to learn more about the challenges the plan aims to address, the improvements included in the plan, the estimated tax impact, and how you can make your voice heard on Election Day.
