Don't forget! The community meeting is this Thursday!
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, school districts in Tazewell County are asking voters to consider a 1% Illinois County Schools Facility Tax, also known as a one-cent tax. This one-cent tax would fund critical improvements to school facilities, creating safer, modern learning environments, while lessening the burden on homeowners by offering an alternative funding source for local schools.
This question impacts all students in Pekin, from elementary through high school. That is why all Pekin residents are invited to join us for a community information night to learn more about the County Schools Facility Tax question.
This is a joint presentation between Pekin Community High School District 303, North Pekin-Marquette Heights District 102, Pekin Public Schools District 108, South Pekin School District 137, and Spring Lake Community Consolidated School District 606.
Date: Thursday, September 24, 2026
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Location: Pekin Community High School Theater, 320 Stadium Drive, Pekin, IL 61554
Local school leaders will answer questions from community members, as well as share a presentation about how this sales tax operates, including:
✔️What would be taxed
✔️What would be exempt
✔️What the tax can be used for, by law
✔️How non-residents would contribute significantly to this tax
✔️How revenue is distributed and controlled locally
In the meantime, we encourage you to visit the referendum website, www.tazewellforstudents.com, for more details regarding this tax.
