Geff CCSD 14 placed on financial "recognition" list by state board of education

Hs 06

The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has placed Geff Community Consolidated School District 14 on its financial "recognition" list.

ISBE rates school districts on their fund balance and expenditure-to-revenue ratios, days of cash on hand, and percentage of remaining short- and long-term borrowing ability.

Of Illinois' 852 school districts, 640, or 75 percent, earned the state's "Financial Recognition" designation, suggesting they are fiscally sound.

The other 25 percent statewide, or 212 districts, received lower marks from ISBE, suggesting they need work:

147 (17 percent) are under "Financial Review"

43 (5 percent) were given an "Early Warning"

22 (3 percent) are under "Financial Watch"

In Wayne County, 4 of the county's 7 school districts (57 percent) earned the "Financial Recognition" designation.

Three districts - Fairfield Comm H S Dist 225, Fairfield PSD 112 and Jasper CCSD 17 - were placed under "Financial Review"

ISBE's "School District Financial Profile" was first issued in 2003.
