Why we are here

• After March presentation from Finance Committee, Board of Education

committed to ending deficit spending. To determine how to reach that goal, the Board asked committee to get feedback from the community. The Board asked to hear more about what residents value in their school district.

• The “Our 89” community engagement campaign was formed.

Current financial reality

• The district is operating a deficit budget.
• The district will have deficit budgets for the next five fiscal

years, and beyond.

• After five years of cuts, the district’s rising enrollment means

the district must make critical decisions. The Finance Committee - composed of parents, residents, board members, and staff - was tasked with finding ways to address this issue.

Focus on fiscal responsibility

2008 and 2011 finance committees Five-year projections showed the district would have to borrow by 2015 Finance Committee convened to explore options, engage with the community.

○ Community asked for cuts and efficiencies that did not: ■ Directly impact classrooms ■ Conflict with the district’s core values ■ Contradict the goals in the strategic plan ○ Community asked that the district not pursue a tax-rate referendum at that time. ■ District’s last tax-rate increase was in 1986.

Result: From 2009 to 2016, the district made nearly $3 million in cuts, reductions

• utside the classroom.

• Special education: Cooperative Association for Special Education (7 Glenbard districts)
• Office supplies: Federal purchasing contract through Office Depot
• Legal services: Glenbard Property Tax Appeals Cooperative (D87, CCSD 89, D41, D44)

Other options considered

District consolidation

○ Not a solution to immediate issue ○ Could be detrimental to CCSD 89 students and homeowners

Establish CCSD 89 foundation

○ District will consider forming its own foundation, however… ■ A foundation is not a solution to the current issue of deficit spending ■ Inconsistency: funds raised would be dependent on donations ■ Deficit greater than what could be raised

Finance Committee conclusions

CCSD 89 cannot continue to operate with a deficit budget

• Depletes fund balance

○ Requires issuing short-term debt (tax-anticipation warrants) against future tax revenue

• Negatively impacts district’s finance and bond ratings, resulting in higher

interest rate on borrowed money, worsening deficit

• Does not provide a long-term solution for future planning and

sustainability

Option A

Increase revenues to maintain comprehensive, high- quality educational programming

• Avoids cuts to programs that directly impact students which are not consistent with the

CCSD 89 strategic plan

• Instructional supports at elementary and middle school

○ Reinstatement of some positions previously eliminated ■ Example: Instructional coaches for teacher and student support ○ Support staff for students (intervention support to address differing needs) ○ Professional development for teacher training

Glenbard feeder district referenda

District Operating rate referenda Marquardt 15 2003 (.67) 1993 (.30) Queen Bee 16 2003 (.46) 1988 (.60) Glen Ellyn 41 2001 (.55)

Option B

Reduce programs and increase fees

• Reductions totalling $1.2 million in first year (2019-20) including, but not limited to:

○ Increased class size ○ Further administrative cuts ○ Gifted/Challenge services ○ Band/orchestra ○ Physical education reduction and health ○ Social work services ○ Library media center staff ○ Full-day kindergarten

• Increase registration fees

○ Additional fees could generate approximately $40,000

After three years, the district would have to consider additional cuts.

Board of Education recommendation

March 2018: Board recommends expanding the discussion to gather feedback on the community’s educational values.

Upcoming:

• June: Community meetings to present information, gather feedback
• June: Community surveys to gather feedback
