2009 School District Financial Profile

Lawrence W Carlton:
Dear Superintendent:
As you are aware, the 2009 School District Financial Profile, based on the 2008 school year financial data, places your school district within the Financial Recognition range. This is the highest category obtainable for the School District Financial Profile. Given the economic difficulties school districts are facing, the State Board realizes this is a significant accomplishment.
A certificate has been enclosed documenting your district's excellence in finance. Please share your designation and Certification of Recognition with your school board and staff.
In the future, we will be asking for volunteers to serve as mentors to school districts in financial difficulty. It is my hope that you will share your knowledge, so that together, we may address the financial crisis education is facing in Illinois.
If you have questions or comments regarding the School District Financial Profile, please contact Christine Kolaz at (217) 785-8779.
Congratulations again on a job well done!
Sincerely,
Christopher A. Koch, Ed.D.
State Superintendent of Education
