Did you know? When you shop in other counties, you may already be contributing to their local schools. Every county that neighbors Tazewell, including McLean, Peoria, Fulton, Logan, Woodford, and Mason, have already implemented a dedicated sales tax to invest in their schools. Now, Tazewell County has the opportunity to do the same.

If approved, the proposed One-Cent Tax will provide funding for critical safety upgrades, facility improvements, and property tax protection—ensuring our schools remain competitive and well-equipped to serve over 19,000 students here and across Tazewell County.

Learn more about how this request could benefit students, staff and our school community by attending a community information meeting on the following dates:

Tuesday, October 6

Starke Primary School, 5:00-6:00pm
Edison Jr. High School, 6:00-7:00pm

Tuesday, October 13

Washington Intermediate School, 6:00-7:00pm

At its meeting last night, the Board of Education celebrated the achievements of student athletes Korbin and Payton, who had the opportunity to represent Broadmoor & Edison Junior High Schools throughout last spring's track and field season. Both set new state records for their events and did so with pride, dedication, and sportsmanship! Payton is pictured here receiving her award!

Early voting has started in Tazewell County! From now through November 3, voters in Tazewell County will consider a 1% County Schools Facility Tax, also known as a one-cent tax. We’re excited to share our new video that explains the importance of this referendum and how it will improve educational support for students across our schools.
If approved, this referendum will provide critical funding to support school safety and security, improve facilities, and provide property tax protection through a new revenue source.

The majority of revenue from this tax would be paid by visitors, not Tazewell County taxpayers, because a One-Cent Tax applies to anyone that makes qualifying purchases under current Illinois Law. Visitors that shop and dine in Tazewell County would contribute nearly 60% of this revenue.

Share this video with your friends and neighbors to help keep our school community informed! Learn more at tazewellforstudents.com or by contacting us directly.

As part of our work to engage and inform our families and community members, Pekin 108 will join all school districts across Pekin for an upcoming community information night.

On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, all voters in Tazewell County will consider a 1% Illinois County Schools Facility Tax, also known as a one-cent tax, that would impact every school district in the county. 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 presentation and Q&A with Pekin Community High School District 303, North Pekin-Marquette Heights District 102, South Pekin School District 137, Spring Lake Community Consolidated School District 606, and our district.

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, or contact us directly for more details regarding this tax.
