Vote Yes for Unit 5!
Our schools are facing a budget crisis, and they need all of us to help. Unit 5’s education fund has an $11 million — and growing — annual budget deficit. Costs have gone up quickly, revenue has barely grown at all, and continued borrowing isn’t wise. So we’re asking you to support the referendum on the ballot in the April 4 election. Vote Yes for Unit 5.

The district has already cut teachers and administrators. Come August, all freshman sports teams, band and music for 5th graders, and all extra curricular activities and athletics for junior high schools will be eliminated. Then in August 2024, school days will likely be shortened, Carlock Elementary School is slated to close, class sizes will be significantly expanded, and JV sports will be slashed.
Support our Students.
There are a number of good reasons to Vote Yes For Unit5. 12,304 of them are the best reasons!
Our students matter. They’re our future. They deserve the best from their school district and community — and they’re worth investing in.
Save our Schools.
Each of the 12,304 students in Unit 5 matters. And each of the 24 schools — unique in their history, character and impact on students, families and communities — matters, too.
Without stable revenue, the district will likely have to close at least one of those schools.
Vote Yes April 4!
Vote Yes for the 12,304 students learning in Unit 5 and those who will come after them. Vote Yes so Unit 5 can continue its tradition of excellence for years to come.
Vote Yes to protect our property values and keep our community thriving and growing — because a strong community needs a strong school system.
