The largest source of income to District 102 is derived from property taxes. Approximately 10% of district revenue is received from state or federal funds which are used for Special Education and transportation. Deciding on how funds will be spent is called the budget process, which is driven by the district’s annual goals and initiatives. The budget is a product of collaborating with all stakeholders to gather feedback on district, department, and building initiatives and action for the current year. The goal during the budget process is to adopt balanced budgets in all funds and to maintain fund balance levels of at least 150 days Cash on Hand as defined in the Financial Profile Summary of the Illinois State Board of Education’s Annual Financial Report.
