Good Afternoon Hoopeston Area Families,
The Hoopeston Area CUSD #11 Board of Education passed a resolution to place the following question before the voters on April 4, 2023. The question will look like this:
Shall members of the Board of Education of Hoopeston Area Community Unit School District No. 11, Vermilion, Iroquois, and Ford Counties, Illinois, be elected in 2025 and thereafter, at large and without restriction by area of residence within the district instead of the current that four (4) members on the board of education shall be selected from Grant Township 23N Range 12W congressional township and the remaining three (3) members of the board of education shall be selected from other townships in the school district?
Board of education members will be selected by voters in 2023 by their geographical location. If this question were to be voted in, the at large elections would not begin until 2025.
Voters will be asked to vote for or against this question.
YES, you are voting in favor of selecting board of education members through the at large process without restriction by area of residence within the Hoopeston Area CUSD #11 school district.
NO, you are casting your vote to keep the selection of board members based on geographical locations within the Hoopeston Area CUSD #11 school district.
This information is provided to assist voters to better understand the question. Do your part and vote on April 4, 2023.
