Safe Schools | Secure Futures - Referendum Project Overview
Safe Schools | Secure Futures - Referendum Project Overview
Salt Creek School District 48 is placing a $48 M bond measure on the November 5, 2024, ballot. If approved by taxpayers, the funds will be used to improve safety and security, ADA accessibility, traffic flow, physical education, and academic programming. If the referendum is successful, the district will be equipped to meet the needs of students today and in the future as enrollment continues to increase.
The District is a prudent steward of taxpayer dollars. This is reflected in our financial score from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE); D48 is consistently awarded the highest recognition possible. We do not currently have any debt and have completed many safety and educational improvements using existing funds.
The scope of work required to secure our schools and complete other improvements, including ADA accessibility, is beyond the scope of what is budgeted annually for maintenance and repairs. School districts across Illinois regularly issue bonds for similar projects, much the way a business or homeowner might take out a loan to pay for capital improvements.
District 48 benefits from a long-standing partnership with the community. Residents, parents, staff, the Board of Education, and the Administrative Team all have one goal—Teaching Tomorrow’s Leaders and ensuring the continued growth and success of every student. Maintaining and improving our three schools will allow us to continue to serve current students and attract new families to our community and D48.
The referendum plan, approved by the Board of Education on August 8, reflects the input of community stakeholders who collaborated with the District’s staff, architects, and financial advisors to identify high-priority needs and fiscally responsible solutions.

If your question is not included in the FAQs, please submit it to info@saltcreek48.org,.
Improving safety and security by adding secure vestibules at every building so that visitors can be properly screened before entering. All of our neighboring districts have secure vestibules. Administrative offices will be relocated so they are adjacent to the entrances. This will limit the number of visitors who need to enter the schools for meetings while classes are in session.
Increasing ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility for students, staff, and visitors by updating toilet facilities, adding an elevator at Albright, and ensuring that entrances are secure and accessible at all buildings.
Reconfiguring existing spaces to improve supervision by providing clear sight lines and eliminating areas that could become hiding places. This will ensure that staff can easily observe students and create more usable space by allowing schools to once again use areas that are currently closed due to inadequate supervision.
Enhancing educational programming by creating grade-level centers that are aligned with student development and state standards for primary, intermediate, and middle school. This will benefit students by extending the time between building transitions and allow the District to utilize resources more efficiently.
