Fiscal Focus

This week I happened to visit the website of our Illinois State Comptroller, Dan Hynes. He prepares a monthly newsletter called, Fiscal Focus. This month that newsletter features information about the funding and financial status of Illinois schools. This website will provide you with a brief but comprehensive background on school finance in Illinois. Please check out this site at www.Ioc.state.il.us.

Another valuable educational resource for DuPage County School Districts is LEND. LEND represents the Legislative Educational Network of DuPage and is made up of 35 school districts that represent almost 170,000 students in this county. This group supports a lobbyist who works exclusively on educational issues facing our area. LEND began in 1980 as a part of the Illinois School Board Association to lobby for educational issues and evolved into an independent group in 2001. LEND is highly respected and recognized as being one of the leading voices in public education in Illinois. Center Cass School District 66 is proud to be a member of this group. Visit LEND at www.lend-dupage.org.
