Still No Budget

The General Assembly met for two days this week and made little progress toward ending the budget impasse. Will they meet the June 30th deadline or extend the budget on a monthly basis? I guess we will have to stay tuned to see. Governor Quinn continues to change his mind daily about his priorities and is not exerting any positive influence on the proceedings. In the mean time, the fiscal years ends next week and we, as many school districts, have not received the third or fourth quarter state aid payments for Mandated categorical programs such as special education and transportation. This could lead to a revenue shortfall of over $300,000 for us. Not a pretty picture in a very strange year. Stay tuned..
