District officials present shared‑services cost analysis, warn separation would raise costs
Summary
Superintendent Matt presented an annual shared‑services report showing 36.5 current shared FTEs, an estimated 11.5 additional FTE if districts separated, about $1,000,000 in increased annual costs for District 67 and roughly $8.8 million over five years across both districts.
Superintendent Matt presented the district's annual shared‑services analysis and said the review shows continued financial advantages from sharing central services between neighboring districts. He told the board the current shared‑service headcount was 36.5 FTE (timestamped 07/01/2025) and estimated that separation would require about 11.5 additional employees for comparable operations.
Matt said the personnel increase would translate to "just under $1,000,000 of increased costs" for District 67 on an annual basis and that, when extrapolated over five years across both districts, the separation scenario would total about $8,800,000. He also noted roughly $1,000,000 in technology, licensing and infrastructure savings attributable to joint purchasing and economy‑of‑scale contracts.
The presentation framed the report as part of the district's annual obligation to explain shared‑service benefits to the community; Matt said a written memo expanding the slide deck will be released to provide additional context for board members and the public. He invited questions after the presentation; none were raised immediately.
The board did not take formal action on the shared‑services analysis at this meeting; administrators said the written report and the slide deck will be available for review ahead of any policy decisions.
