(1) Under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law of the State of Illinois, as amended (the “Limitation Law”), the
limiting rate will increase if the annual increase in the District’s EAV is less than the CPI or 5% which has occurred in
three out of the last five years. As detailed above, the District’s EAV declined in levy years 2014, 2015 and 2018.. As a
result, the District’s fund rates increased to capture new tax revenues permitted by the Limitation Law. If this trend
continues for the foreseeable future, rates may reach their maximum rate and the amount of taxes permitted under the
Limitation Law could be reduced if the trend continues for the foreseeable future.
(2) Pursuant to Public Act 100-465, beginning with levy year 2017, the District will no longer have a maximum tax rate for
educational fund purposes. The aggregate tax rate for the various purposes subject to the Limitation Law, may not,
however, exceed the District’s limiting rate under the Limitation Law.
(3) The District increased its Transportation Fund tax rate with the intention of transferring excess amounts received
thereby to the Educational Fund for the purpose of meeting one-time, non-recurring expenses as authorized by Section 17-
2A of the School Code.
