To keep our community informed, we invite you to watch our Budget Matters Presentation, now available on our website and on YouTube.
In this nearly 30-minute presentation, Board President Dr. Richard Facko and I provide a comprehensive overview of District 128's financial picture. We explain how Illinois school funding works, discuss enrollment growth, review the district's long-term financial trends, describe what a limiting rate referendum is and how it works, and share why the Board of Education is planning ahead to protect what matters most for our students and schools.
We’ve also released Episode 4 of D128 in 128. In just 128 seconds, this episode explores how long-term financial challenges could affect class sizes, transportation, student support, extracurricular activities, and academic programs—and why the Board of Education is planning ahead.
