Decatur School District 61 is located approximately 40 miles east of the state Capital.

This blue-collar town peaked following the return of WWII vets with enrollments summiting at 22,000 students in the late 1960s. Each of the district’s seven collective bargaining agreements has been substantially influenced from these local blue-collar affiliations. With the downsizing of industry in Illinois, declining school enrollments in Decatur has ensued.

Today, the PreK-12 enrollment is relatively stable but less than half of former enrollments with 9,000 students in eleven elementary schools (K-6), four magnet schools (PK-8), two junior highs (7-8) and two high schools (9-12). The district has two pre-kindergarten buildings, an alternative education program and an adult education center also serving as the administrator (fiscal agent) for the MaconPiatt Special Education District.

7. Incentive Assessment Classifications While there is little districts can do about the proration of General State Aid, districts can file claims for additional aid based on assessment reductions that occur after the amount of General State Aid is calculated and distributed. As discussed previously, PTAB and tax objection complaint cases occur after the extension of taxes. Generally, they also get resolved after the amount of local resources has been calculated for the General State Aid Formula.

Strategy: School districts can apply for additional state aid based on the reductions in assessments from these cases.

While the pool of money for such reimbursements is limited, it is another way to make sure the district is getting every dollar available to it.

6. Impact Fees By municipal ordinance, a community can provide for the payment of cash contributions to your district in connection with the development of residential properties. Whether single-family homes, townhomes or multi-unit apartments, many communities require developers to make cash contributions based either on the value of an acre of land within the particular community or based upon the number of bedrooms added by the development. These amounts are designed to offset the impact on local schools of increased enrollment from new developments.

Strategy: Find out whether your local municipalities have impact fee ordinances and if they do not, ask the municipality to establish such ordinances.

UPDATE Magazine / Winter 2015

Cook County continues to increase the number of commercial and industrial properties eligible for reduced property tax assessments. Recently, the County amended the Real Property Assessment Classification Ordinance to add the “Temporary Emergency Economic Recovery Modification” program (TEERM) and the “Sustainable Emergency Relief” program (SER) for Class 6b properties.

Both of these programs expand the Class 6b classification to include industrial properties that previously would not have qualified for the Class 6b tax incentive. By ordinance, commercial (Class 5a) and industrial (Class 5b) properties in Cook County are assessed at 25% of market value.

However, reduced assessments are available to certain commercial and industrial properties determined by the municipality and the county to be eligible for an incentive assessment. These commercial and industrial properties are provided a tax incentive by being assessed, in most cases, at 10% of market value for ten years, then 15% in the eleventh year and 20% in the twelfth year rather than the 25% assessment level. These tax incentive classifications impact a taxing district’s tax base by reducing the overall tax base and shifting the assessment burden to other taxpayers in the community.

Strategy: Local taxing bodies are not formally notified about applications for the incentive assessments, but through regular communication with local municipal officials your district can stay abreast of these incentives and have a voice in how they are approved.
