Our District
McLean County Unit District No. 5
On May 8, 1948, voters approved the
formation of a school district that is today legally known
as Community Unit School District No. 5, McLean and Woodford
Counties, Illinois. The district includes 11 congressional
townships and serves parts of Bloomington, all of Carlock,
Hudson, Normal, and Towanda and rural areas surrounding each
of these communities.
Unit 5 employs over 1700 full and part
time staff members (certified and educational support
personnel) to educate over 12,000 students. Nearly 150 buses
transport students more than 1 million miles a year. The
district consists of more than 200 square miles, with 15
elementary, 3 junior high, and 2 high school buildings.
Unit 5’s assessed valuation is over $1.5
billion.
A Citizens Advisory Council assists the
Board in researching issues and securing advice from the
parents and citizens of the district.
Growth and change have been issues
constantly facing the school system. Other constants are the
pride in Unit 5, the pursuit of quality public education by
"working together," and keeping "Children First!"
