Davis has been the payroll and transportation coordinator at Oak Park Elementary School District 97 since 2020 and was previously the payroll manager at Cicero School District 99. In those roles, she supervised staff within her department and ensured procedures were followed and performance was maximized.

“We are very pleased to have Davis join the District 88 team,” said Dr. Jean Barbanente, District 88 Superintendent. “Her experience, knowledge and skills will be a tremendous asset to our school community. She also is bilingual in English and Spanish, which will be a benefit to our families.”

Davis earned her bachelor’s degree in accounting from DePaul University and her master’s degree in business administration, with a Chief School Business Official (CSBO) endorsement, from Concordia University Chicago.

Davis said her goals as District 88’s new Director of Business Services include getting involved with the district’s five-year facility plan to understand where the district’s finances are designated and integrating more technology to advance the Business Office.

“I look forward to enhancing communication with community members, students and staff to make sure everyone’s expectations and needs are being met,” Davis said. “District 88 has a diverse student and staff population, and I’m excited to work with a multifaceted stakeholder group.”

Davis lives in La Grange Park with her husband and their two daughters.
