Sec. 34-53. Tax levies; purpose; rates. For the purpose of
establishing and supporting free schools for not fewer than 9 months in
each year and defraying their expenses the board may levy annually, upon all taxable
property of such district for educational purposes a tax for
the fiscal years 1996 and each succeeding fiscal year at a rate of not to exceed the sum of (i) 3.07% (or such other rate as may be set
by law
independent of the rate difference described in (ii) below) and (ii) the
difference between .50% and the rate per cent of taxes extended for a
School Finance Authority organized under Article 34A of the School Code,
for the calendar year in which the applicable fiscal year of the board
begins as determined by the county clerk and certified to the board
pursuant to Section 18-110 of the Property Tax Code, of the value as
equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue for the year in which
such levy is made.
Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, for the purpose of making an employer contribution to the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago, the board may levy annually for taxable years prior to 2017, upon all taxable property located within the district, a tax at a rate not to exceed 0.383%. Beginning with the 2017 taxable year, for the purpose of making an employer contribution to the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago, the board may levy annually, upon all taxable property within the district, a tax at a rate not to exceed 0.567%. The proceeds from this additional tax shall be paid, as soon as possible after collection, directly to Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago and not to the Board of Education. The rate under this paragraph is not a new rate for the purposes of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 2016 tax year only, the board shall certify the rate to the county clerk on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, and the county clerk shall extend that rate against all taxable property located within the district as soon after receiving the certification as possible. Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1995
shall in
any way impair or restrict the levy or extension of taxes pursuant to any
tax levies for any purposes of the board lawfully made prior to the
adoption of this amendatory Act of 1995.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code and in
addition to any other methods provided for increasing the tax rate
the board may, by proper resolution, cause a
proposition to increase the annual tax rate for educational purposes to
be submitted to the voters of such district at any general or special
election. The maximum rate for educational purposes shall not exceed
4.00%. The election called for such purpose shall be governed by
Article 9 of this Act. If at such election a majority of the votes cast
on the proposition is in favor thereof, the Board of Education may
thereafter until such authority is revoked in a like manner, levy
annually the tax so authorized.
For purposes of this Article, educational purposes for fiscal years
beginning in 1995 and each subsequent year shall also include, but not be
limited to, in addition to those purposes authorized before this amendatory Act
of 1995, constructing, acquiring, leasing (other than from the Public Building
Commission of Chicago), operating, maintaining, improving, repairing, and
renovating land, buildings, furnishings, and equipment for school houses and
buildings, and related incidental expenses, and
provision of special education, furnishing free textbooks and
instructional aids and school supplies, establishing, equipping, maintaining,
and operating supervised playgrounds under the control of the board, school
extracurricular activities, and stadia, social center, and summer swimming pool
programs open to the public in connection with any public school; making an
employer contribution to the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement
Fund as required by Section 17-129 of the Illinois Pension Code; and providing
an agricultural science school, including site development and improvements,
maintenance repairs, and supplies. Educational purposes also includes student
transportation expenses.
All collections of all taxes levied for fiscal years ending before 1996 under
this
Section or under Sections 34-53.2, 34-53.3, 34-58, 34-60, or 34-62 of this
Article as in effect prior to this amendatory Act of 1995 may be used for any
educational purposes as defined by this amendatory Act of 1995 and need not be
used for the particular purposes for which they were levied.
The levy and extension of taxes pursuant to this Section as amended by this
amendatory Act of 1995 shall not constitute a new or increased tax rate within
the meaning of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law or the One-year
Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
The rate at which taxes may be levied for the fiscal year beginning
September
1, 1996, for educational purposes shall be the full rate authorized by this
Section for such taxes for fiscal years ending after 1995.

When a supplemental budget
has been adopted by the board of education under Section 34-44.1 the
board of education may levy supplemental taxes which shall not exceed the
amount of the increase in revenues projected in the supplemental budget
nor exceed the maximum rates of taxes which the board is authorized

respective purposes. With respect to any supplemental levy based on an
increase in the value of taxable property in the school district, such
supplemental levy shall be adopted within 60 days of the date of the final
certification of the equalization rate by the Department of Revenue to the
county clerk as provided in the Property Tax Code, irrespective of whether the adoption occurs within or after the
close of the fiscal year to which the increase applies. The board is
authorized to levy supplemental taxes pursuant to this Section.

Capital improvement tax levy; purpose; maximum amount.
(a) For the purpose of providing a reliable source of revenue for capital
improvement purposes, including without limitation (i) the construction and
equipping of a new school building or buildings or an addition or additions to
an existing school building or buildings, (ii) the purchase of school grounds
on which any new school building or an addition to an existing school building
is to be constructed or located, (iii) both items (i) and (ii) of this
subsection (a), or (iv) the rehabilitation, renovation, and equipping of an
existing school building or buildings, the board may levy, upon all taxable
property of the school district, in calendar year 2003, a capital improvement
tax to produce, when extended, an amount not to exceed the product attained by
multiplying (1) the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the United States Department
of Labor for the 12 months ending 2 months prior to the month in which the levy
is adopted by (2) $142,500,000. For example, if the percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index is 2.5%, then the computation would be $142,500,000 x
0.025 = $3,562,500.
(b) In each calendar year from 2004 through 2030, the board may levy a
capital improvement tax to produce, when extended, an amount not to exceed the
sum of (1) the maximum amount that could have been levied by the board in the
preceding calendar year pursuant to this Section and (2) the product obtained
by multiplying (A) the sum of (i) the maximum amount that could have been
levied by the board in the preceding calendar year pursuant to this Section and
(ii) $142,500,000 by (B) the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the United States
Department of Labor for the 12 months ending 2 months prior to the month in
which the levy is adopted.
(c) In calendar year 2031, the board may levy a capital improvement tax to
produce, when extended, an amount not to exceed the sum of (1) the maximum
amount that could have been levied by the board in calendar year 2030 pursuant
to this Section, (2) $142,500,000, and (3) the product obtained by multiplying
(A) the sum of (i) the maximum amount that could have been levied by the board
in calendar year 2030 pursuant to this Section and (ii) $142,500,000 by (B) the
percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers for all items published by the United States Department of Labor for
the 12 months ending 2 months prior to the month in which the levy is adopted.
(d) In calendar year 2032 and each calendar year thereafter, the board may
levy a capital improvement tax to produce, when extended, an amount not to
exceed the sum of (1) the maximum amount that could have been levied by the
board in the preceding calendar year pursuant to this Section and (2) the
product obtained by multiplying (A) the maximum amount that could have been
levied by the board in the preceding calendar year pursuant to this Section by
(B) the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers for all items published by the United States Department of Labor for
the 12 months ending 2 months prior to the month in which the levy is adopted.
(e) An initial tax levy made by the board under this Section
must have the
approval of
the Chicago City Council, by resolution, before the levy may be extended.
The board shall communicate its adoption of the initial tax levy by
delivering a certified copy of the levy resolution to the Clerk of the City of
Chicago. The Chicago City Council shall have 60 days after receipt, by
the Clerk of the City of Chicago, of the certified resolution to approve or
disapprove the levy. The failure of the Chicago City Council to take
action to approve or disapprove the initial tax levy within the 60-day
period shall be deemed disapproval of the initial tax levy.
Upon the adoption of each subsequent levy by the board under this Section, the
board must notify the Chicago City Council that the board has adopted the
levy.
(f) The board may issue bonds, in accordance with the Local Government Debt
Reform Act, including Section 15 of that Act, against any revenues to be
collected from the capital improvement tax in any year or years and may pledge,
pursuant to Section 13 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act, those revenues
as security for the payment of any such bonds.

levies authorized to be made shall be: (i) for each fiscal year through and
including the 1995-96 fiscal year, for a fiscal year commencing
September
1 and ending August 31; (ii) for the 1996-97 fiscal year, for a fiscal year

year, for a fiscal year commencing July 1 and ending June 30.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Article 34 to the contrary, by the last
Tuesday in December of each calendar year, the board of education may levy
upon
all the taxable property of the district or city, the annual taxes
required to provide the necessary revenue to defray expenditures,
charges and liabilities incurred by the board for the fiscal year beginning
in that calendar year. The levy may be
based upon the estimated
equalized assessed valuation provided the county clerk shall extend for
collection only so much thereof as is permitted by law. The total amount of the
levy shall be certified to the county clerk who shall extend for
collection only so much thereof as is required to provide the necessary
revenue to defray expenditures, charges and liabilities incurred by the
board as certified by the controller of the board to the county clerk
upon the value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue
for the calendar year in which the levy was made.
The county clerk shall thereafter in the succeeding calendar year extend
such remaining amount of the levy as is certified by the controller of
the board to the county clerk upon the value, as equalized or assessed
by the Department of Revenue for such calendar year.
In each year the county clerk shall extend taxes at a rate sufficient to
produce the full amount of the 2 partial levies attributable to that tax
year. Provided, however, and notwithstanding the provisions of any other
law to the contrary:
(a) the extension of taxes levied for fiscal years ending before 1996 for
building purposes and school
supervised playground outside school hours and stadia, social center and
summer swimming pool purposes which the county clerk shall make against the
value of all taxable property of the district or city, as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue, shall be at the respective maximum
rates at
which the board was authorized to levy taxes for such purposes for the fiscal year which ends in
1995; and (b) notwithstanding any other provision of
this
Code, in each calendar year the taxes for
educational purposes shall be extended at
a rate
certified by the controller as referred to in this Section, which rate
shall not be in excess of the maximum rate for the
levy of
taxes for educational purposes, occurring in the fiscal year which begins in
the calendar year of the extension, (whether or not actually levied at that
rate)
except for calendar year 1995 in which the rate shall not be in excess of the
maximum rate which would be provided for the levy of taxes for educational
purposes for the fiscal year which begins in 1995 without regard to this
amendatory Act of 1995. In
calendar year 1995,
the county clerk shall extend any special education purposes tax which was
levied as provided in Section 34-53.2 in full in the calendar year
following
the year in which the levy of such a tax was made.

(a) All real property taxes levied by the board in 1989 and 1990 are
confirmed and validated, and are declared to be and are valid, in all
respects as if they had been timely and properly levied by the city council
upon the demand and direction of the Board. It shall not be a valid ground
for any person in any way to object to, protest, bring any proceeding with
regard to or defend against the collection of any such taxes, that the
taxes were levied by the board.
(b) The board may levy taxes against all taxable property located within
the city in an amount equal to all taxes purported to be levied by the
board in 1989 and in 1990, for each purpose for which taxes were purported
so to be levied, to the extent those taxes shall not yet have been extended
for collection at the time of the levy authorized by this paragraph (b).
The taxes authorized to be levied by this paragraph (b) shall be levied by
a resolution of the board selected pursuant to Public Act 86-1477.
The resolution shall be adopted upon concurrence of a majority of the
members of the board. The taxes levied pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall
be extended for collection in 1991 and subsequent years and in amounts so
that they do not exceed the maximum rates at which taxes may be extended
for the various school purposes, all as shall be set forth in a certificate
of the controller of the board as provided in Section 34-54.1 of this
Code. Taxes levied pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be in
addition to all other taxes which have been or may be levied by or for the
board, except that the extension of taxes levied pursuant to this paragraph
(b), to the extent valid and legal in all respects, shall be an abatement
of the same amount of taxes previously purported to be levied by the board
which were to have been extended in the same year for the same purpose, it
being the intention of the General Assembly that there not be extended
duplicate taxes for the same year and purpose. It shall not be necessary
that the board give any notice or conduct any hearings for any purpose
whatsoever or to have adopted any proceedings with respect to any budget,
in connection with the levy and extension of taxes pursuant to this
paragraph (b). The board shall cause a certified copy of its resolution
levying taxes pursuant to this paragraph (b) to be filed with the county
clerk of each county in which any taxable property in the city is located
within 30 days after the adoption of the resolution.

(a-15) For the 2022-2023 school year only, if the Governor has declared a disaster due to a public health emergency pursuant to Section 7 of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act, the school district may waive the evaluation requirement of any teacher in contractual continued service whose performance was rated as either "excellent" or "proficient" during the last school year in which the teacher was evaluated under this Section.
