Dixon USD 170 hears Business Report: ISIN to return $700,000 in reserves; CEP update and athletics recognized
Summary
Chief School Business Official Marc Campbell told the board that ISIN voted to return $700,000 in reserves to Dixon USD 170; the district also reported its highest county-wide facility sales tax receipts for Q4 and received a Community Eligibility Provision update. Winter athletes and All-Conference scholars were recognized.
During the Board of Education’s April 15 meeting, Chief School Business Official Marc Campbell reported several financial and program updates to the board.
Campbell said ISIN had voted to return $700,000 in reserves to the district and that the payment should arrive within the next few weeks. He also reported that the District received its highest county-wide facility sales tax receipts for the fourth quarter.
Campbell provided an update on the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP); the transcript records that an update was shared but does not contain details of the CEP changes or metrics.
Principal Jared Shaner recognized All-Conference scholars and Big Northern Conference athletes for winter sports and provided winter ticket sales figures to the board. Mrs. Wegner reported back from the DEA PRC meeting she attended April 13.
Superintendent Margo Empen reminded members that the Joint Annual Conference is scheduled for Nov. 20–22, 2026, asked whether the May Board meeting could be moved to May 13, and reported that the district complied with a FOIA request from CT Mills of Public Info Access LLC for employee contact information.
Why it matters: A $700,000 reserve return increases available district resources and may affect short-term budget planning; CEP status affects free-meal eligibility for students but details were not provided in the public record.
