Budget PlanningSchool TaxesDetected Jun 1, 2026

The Board is considering a resolution directing the Lake County Regional Superintendent to certify a ballot question for a retailers’ and service occupation tax dedicated to school facility purposes, school resource officers, and mental health professionals. If approved, this countywide sales tax measure would appear on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot and, if passed, generate new revenue streams for capital improvements, security staffing, and mental health services. This is a significant long-range funding initiative rather than an immediate procurement, but it signals that the district and county are preparing for increased investment in facilities, school safety, and student wellness.Vendors in facilities planning, security solutions, SRO support, and mental health services/EdTech should position themselves with conceptual plans and program designs that could be funded if voters approve the measure.

Funds from the proposed sales tax are restricted to school facility purposes, school resource officers, and mental health professionals, which will shape future procurement priorities if the measure passes.
