The Chicago Board of Education is considering placing two nonbinding questions on the November ballot. These questions aim to gauge voter support for new revenue streams for the district. One proposal seeks public opinion on a statewide millionaires tax to fund K-12 education. The other would assess support for taxing undeveloped city land to benefit Chicago Public Schools. The board plans to vote on these referendums this week to meet ballot deadlines.
