The remainder is for improvement of instruction, business services, operations & maintenance, bond payments, transportation, food services and special education & services.

PTELL limits the increase over the prior year in the property tax extension of this taxing district to the lesser of 5% or the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which was 0.1% in 2009; 2.7% in 2010; and 1.5% in 2011. Life Safety work is restricted by PTELL – yet mandated by the State (Due to PTELL, life safety bonds were not sold to fund roof and masonry work).

  11. District Financial Overview How The Budget Is Developed The preparation, adoption and action on the district’s budget is a yearly process involving the employees, administrators, the Board of Education, and input from the community during committee meetings and public hearings. Prior to 2010-2011, the District was able to adopt a yearly budget that was balanced. For the current 2011-2012 school year, the adopted education fund budget was a deficit 1,144,256.  This is due to $809,000 being allocated this year for roof and masonry repair and renovation work that was completed; the need to add additional teaching assistants; Corporal Personal Property Taxes coming in 12.5% less; and General State Aid being prorated and reduced . EAV is also on the decline. By law, the District’s budget must be adopted by September 30th each year. Past practice of ISBE is to allocate funding well after deadlines to finalize personnel needs as well as after budget adoption.
  12.
