What is the general financial outlook for District 129?
The District 129 operating budget for 2006-07 (excluding Fire Prevention/Safety and Site & Construction funds, and debt service) is $99.9 million. The projected shortfall is estimated to be approximately $1.9 million for this fiscal year. Here in Illinois, most school districts are experiencing financial shortfalls due to inadequate funding from the state and because the states tax cap law limits how much certain taxing bodies may increase local property taxes without voter approval.
