Oswego Community Unit School District 308 $317 Million School Bond Referendum
What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Education Quality
Oswego District 308 would borrow up to $317 million to repair roofs, heating and plumbing, upgrade school security, and improve labs and shared spaces. Property taxes would repay the bonds, but the district expects its debt tax rate to fall as older bonds are paid off.
Proposed by: Oswego CUSD 308 Board of Education (6-1 vote, Aug. 10, 2026)
The district's elected school board. Illinois school districts need voter approval before borrowing money for buildings by selling bonds.

A YES vote means
Allow the district to issue up to $317 million in bonds for repairs, safety upgrades, and school building improvements, repaid through property taxes.
A NO vote means
Do not authorize the $317 million bond issue; the proposed building and safety projects would need another funding source or would not proceed as planned.
