Palos Heights SD 128 projects record enrollment, schedules budget hearing for Sept. 17
Summary
District leaders told the board Aug. 13 that enrollment is projected at about 880 students for 2025–26 (roughly 50 more than last year), and the board set a public budget hearing for Sept. 17, 2025 at 6:00 p.m.
District administrators presented a tentative 2025–26 budget and reported that enrollment is projected to reach about 880 students for the upcoming school year, an increase of approximately 50 students from the prior year. The presentation noted fiscal pressure: expenditures are outpacing revenue growth and roughly 78% of district revenue comes from local property tax dollars, with a small share from the state's funding formula.
The board set a public budget hearing for 6:00 p.m. on Sept. 17, 2025 to receive public comment on the tentative budget; Dr. Facko moved to set the hearing and Dr. Powell seconded. The year-to-date financial summary and FOIA reports were also presented at the meeting and were received with no questions. The board will consider the tentative budget after the public hearing and any adjustments required by further review.
