| Dear CPU Nation: I am honored to continue serving as the superintendent of the Center Point-Urbana Community School District and look forward to leading the collaborative efforts to further enhance the Center Point-Urbana School District as a remarkable place to live, work, and educate our students. The district’s mission statement outlines the standards we are dedicated to: “… develop successful, life-long learners by providing a safe and caring environment, a stimulating curriculum, and a dedicated staff working with supportive parents in a friendly, small-town atmosphere.” To achieve this mission, our leadership will focus on a unified vision with staff, families, and the community to ensure all students learn at high levels. This vision will be supported by maintaining safe and secure schools, fostering a healthy culture, and aligning systems for efficient and effective operations. As we move forward, my commitment, along with that of all district leaders, is to prioritize transparency, communication, and celebration of our achievements. Your support, honesty, and engagement are invaluable to our shared success. Together, we can create the best possible educational environment for our students. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any district leader with questions or for assistance. Respectfully, John W. Elkin Superintendent of Schools |
2024 General Obligation Bond Passes!
I am thrilled to share that the voters of the Center Point-Urbana Community School District have approved the $20.615 million general obligation bond referendum with 63.33% support! This marks a significant step forward for our district as we embark on a multi-phase improvement plan to enhance facilities and resources across all CPU schools.
In 2024, only 13 bonds were approved while 21 failed across the state. Despite this challenging environment, CPU ranked #6 in approval percentage—a remarkable testament to the strength and support of CPU Nation! To see the entire list, click HERE.
Thank you to our incredible community for recognizing the importance of investing in the future of our students and schools. Your support ensures we can address evolving needs and continue building a strong foundation for generations to come. I’m proud to be part of this remarkable community—together, we are truly Stormin’ Pointers strong!
