District 88 administrators present on the state of Illinois and the district

On April 9 and 14, District 88 Superintendent Dr. Scott Helton and District 88 Chief Financial Officer Ed Hoster presented to staff members about the state of Illinois and the district.

They shared with staff the challenges public education is facing such as decreased funding, unfunded mandates and possible pension reform and other legislation. They discussed how those aspects could impact District 88, as well as the financial state of the district and what the district needs to do to maintain a stable budget and continue to provide a high-quality education for all students.

Despite those challenges, District 88 remains committed to building futures for its students and accomplishing its mission of working for the continuous improvement of student achievement.
