Aug 16, 2004 Board Meeting -- State Aid

Submitted by Amy Dawson

The State of Illinois is sending more money to Fox River Grove then was expected! “Transition aid” will ensure that Fox River Grove schools will not receive less state monies this year due to shrinking enrollment. Transition aid will pay the $98,000. Fox River Grove would have lost due to declining enrollment this year. Superintendent Hill calls this an “artificial subsidy to fund schools that are experiencing losses.” Unfortunately, I do not think that we can count on this subsidy next year.
