Curriculum • Curriculum and financial advantages are probably the two most important reasons for reorganization. • Students in both districts would benefit from combined curriculums.
Athletics & Activities • All high school athletics are together. • All junior high athletics are together. • Both districts are having difficulty in fielding teams.
Transportation • Combined fleet in good condition. • No additional buses needed. • Bus routes might be combined. • The district would be large but manageable. • Some special education savings.

Financial Incentives • State Aid Difference • Deficit Offset • Teacher Salary Difference • Certified Employee Pay of $4,000.00
State Aid Difference • If the General State Aid (GSA) is less for the newly reorganized district in the first year than the General State Aid would have been that same year of the previously existing districts, ISBE will make supplementary state aid payments equal to the difference for the first four years to the reorganized district.
Deficit Offset • Deficits are calculated by totaling the fund balances in the education, operation & maintenance, transportation and working cash funds in each district. • ISBE will make one supplemental state aid payment equal to the difference between the largest and smallest deficit. • A positive fund balance is considered to have a deficit of zero.
Teacher Salary Difference • If there is a difference between the sum of the salaries earned during the previous year by teachers of the new district and the sum of salaries those teachers would have been paid if placed on the highest salary schedule, ISBE will make supplementary state aid payments equal to the difference for the first four years to the newly reorganized district.
Certified Employee Pay of $4000 • For up to three years, a reorganized district may receive a supplementary state aid payment equal to $4000 for each certified employee who is employed on a full time basis for the school year. • The number of payments depends upon the new districts rank in EAV/Pupil and ADA. • The new district would be eligible for 2 years.
