Distinct 204 Tentative Budget
At Monday night’s Indian Prairie School District 204 board meeting, Chief School Business Official Matt Shipley presented a tentative budget for the upcoming school year. The three main priorities of the new budget are to reduce class sizes in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades, increase funding for student mental health resources and special education teachers, and allot $16 million in available funding for capital projects within the district. The proposed budget also includes a $3 million projected increase in investment income and a $300,000 increase to purchase new driver’s education vehicles, as a past deal with Toyota of Naperville to supply dealership vehicles for the program is no longer viable due to market shortages.
District 203 Vehicle Purchase
Naperville School District 203 is also in need of cars for its drivers education program, as Toyota of Naperville is ending its partnership there as well. Previously, six vehicles were provided each year but the dealership said it can no longer support that arrangement due to economic factors. In response, the District 203 School Board on Monday approved up to $350,000 in spending to purchase six vehicles for use in drivers education programs at Naperville Central and Naperville North high schools.
