The Valley View School Board voted to approve the district’s monthly financial items and to place the tentative 2025–26 budget on public display for the required 30‑day inspection ahead of a scheduled public hearing.

The district’s treasurer, Mr. Renich, presented the treasurer’s action report for July, which included “interim obligations and debt service payments totaling $13,253,740.98,” and asked the board to approve the report. The board approved the treasurer’s report by roll call.

The board also approved scheduled bills for prior months as presented. In the meeting the clerk read a packet figure described as “scheduled bills for the month of August” totaling $2,000,708,847.54 as presented to members; the administration characterized the budget and related documents (investments summary, state funding update, property tax receipts and trust school account activity) as informational items and available for member review.

In accordance with Illinois school code procedures, the board placed the tentative 2025–26 budget on display for 30 days to allow public inspection in advance of the public hearing and final adoption scheduled for Sept. 22. Treasurer Renich said he is available to meet individually with board members to review the budget workbook and answer questions.

Why it matters: approval of monthly obligations and the public posting of the tentative budget are procedural steps that preserve transparency and allow taxpayers and stakeholders to review planned revenues and expenditures before final adoption.

What happened at the meeting: motions to approve financial reports and schedule bills passed by roll call. The tentative budget was approved to be placed on display; board members asked for access to supporting detail and were reminded they may request more granular breakdowns from the finance office.

Discussion vs. decision: the board’s votes were formal approvals of the treasurer’s report, scheduled bills and the motion to place the tentative budget on display. No final adoption of the budget occurred at this meeting — that action will follow the public display period and the required public hearing.

Ending: members were reminded of the scheduled public hearing and the opportunity for community review; Treasurer Renich offered support to board members for any follow‑up.
