Champaign Unit 4 Schools

Champaign Unit 4 Schools Welcome to the Champaign Unit 4 Schools page! Here we will share updates, breaking news, and photos from our community schools.

ABOUT:
Champaign Community Unit School District #4 is located in Champaign County in east central Illinois. Students residing within the City of Champaign, the Village of Savoy and the Village of Bondville attend our schools. The District currently educates nearly 10,000 students in Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade and employs over 1,500 administrators, teachers, and support personnel. The District has a $102 million operating budget and operates 22 facilities. Community Relations staff will make every effort to respond to questions on our Facebook
page within two business days. However, because our resources are limited and the question may require research, more time may be needed. Your patience is appreciated. You are always welcome to call the District directly at 217-351-3800 with time-sensitive questions. Champaign Unit 4 School District (CUSD #4) welcomes the community’s contributions to our page.

However, personal insults against any individual -- whether the individual is an employee, student, parent, Board member, or other person -- are strictly prohibited. We strongly encourage all comments to be phrased respectfully, factually and constructively. By signing the permission form/media release distributed at registration, a parent or guardian gives permission to have the student’s picture taken by Unit 4 employees or student teachers while involved in a District-sponsored activity and/or to use samples of his/her work. The pictures might be used in form of videos, photographic displays, or pictures in newspapers, magazines or reports or school sponsored Internet sites. The purpose of using the pictures is to help further the cause of better education through awareness. To opt out on behalf of a student, the parent should not sign the permission form/media release.
