Voters approved just one of four tax increases placed on the ballot (approved for Northbrook ESD 27 and rejected for Cornell CCSD 426, Prospect Heights SD 23, and Thomasboro CCSD 130).
Totals show voters approved 10 of 16 building bond requests. Bonds were approved for:
Countywide Sales Tax propositions for a countywide 1% tax increase for school facilities, school resource officers, and mental health professionals in McLean and Warren counties were approved by voters. Results for Clay and Hancock counties show voters rejected that increase.
Norris City-Omaha-Enfield CUSD 3 received approval from voters for a $3.2 million working cash fund.
Voters in three school districts were asked whether school board members should be elected at-large instead of by congressional township. At this time, two of the three (Central CUSD 4 and Jonesboro CCSD 43) are too close to call. It was rejected by Sycamore CUSD 427.

IASB will update the finance election data in the coming weeks once the results have been certified by the Illinois State Board of Elections.
