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.

Thank you to State Senator Paul Faraci for serving as Principal for the Day at Garden Hills!

Senator Faraci spent the afternoon meeting with Principal Dr. Asia Fuller touring the school, visiting pre-kindergarten students, presenting the Rose Award to Roxana Cowan, checking in on classrooms throughout the building, and helping with dismissal. We appreciate his time, his engagement with our school community, and his continued interest in supporting our students and educators.

Building Better Schools: Special Education Improvements & Garden Hills Geothermal System

The proposed Building Better Schools plan includes improvements to special education facilities across the district and upgrades to the aging geothermal heating and cooling system at Garden Hills Academy.

Improving Special Education Facilities

The proposal includes districtwide renovations and potential additions to self-contained special education classrooms.

These improvements would:

Create dedicated, accessible learning environments designed to support students in self-contained special education programs.

Support students across the continuum of services from preschool through age 22.

Address identified needs outlined in the district’s Special Education Audit and Facilities Study.
Upgrading Garden Hills’ Geothermal System

Garden Hills’ legacy geothermal heating and cooling system has aging and failing components that need to be replaced.

The proposed upgrades would:

Improve classroom comfort, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency.

Upgrade system controls.

Simplify system maintenance.

Introduce system redundancy to help improve reliability.

These proposed improvements address important facility needs across Unit 4, supporting accessible learning environments for students and more reliable building systems.
