District 203’s Adjustments to FY 2023 Budget
Naperville School District 203 is going through the formal process of amending its fiscal year 2023 budget for the current school year. The document, which was approved this summer, is being tweaked to accommodate a pair of sizable expenses.
The amendments include the allocation of $10 million toward an addition at Steeple Run Elementary School and $232,375 toward the late summer expenditure of purchasing vehicles for the district’s driver’s education program.
State law requires District 203 go through a series of steps before the budget is officially amended, including a formal public hearing that will take place at a school board meeting Dec. 19. After the hearing is completed, and the budget is amended, District 203 will file the amended budget with the Illinois State Board of Education.
