CFO Rick Cunningham reported that Jacksonville School District #117 holds $50,817,811.43 in operating funds as of the Feb. 19 meeting, a $2,756,778.37 increase compared with the same point in FY24. He told the board the district is approximately 58% of the way through the budget year.
Superintendent Steve Ptacek shared a sales-tax update showing a $2,702.20 decrease for sales in last November and said he expected next month’s numbers to rise reflecting the holiday shopping season; he also relayed notices from the governor’s office that districts may face cuts to transportation and other areas, though he said this district does not expect a large impact. The board accepted the financial reports as part of the consent agenda.
