6/12/2013	Join us Thursday Morning for Future Focus 203: Financing Student Success Please join us on Thursday morning, June 13, for this session on financing education in D203. For those unable to attend, the session will be broadcast on NCTV17 and available on this web site.  However, your participation in the discussion is a crucial component and we hope to see you at Grace United Methodist at 8:30 am! The fourth Future Focus 203 community engagement session will take a look at how funding supports student education. Community members will be asked to look at the financial resources of the District and how they can best be applied to make a meaningful impact on student success.   The question for this session is: “Does District 203 have the capacity and resources to prepare our students for success?” Based on an understanding of the financial capacity of the District, community members will be asked how they would prioritize program changes for short and long term student success taking into consideration the financial resources of the District.    Some specifics that will be covered in the June session include: District sources of revenue and financial health, how local revenue is generated and the impacts on the local taxpayer, how declines in property valuations (EAV) and student enrollment impact financial needs, and the financial resources the District uses to support program growth. This topic is significant because it affects every household within the District’s boundaries. Future Focus 203 Session 4 will be held on Wednesday, June 12, 7-9 pm at Naperville Central High School and again on Thursday, June 13, 8:30-10:30 am at Grace United Methodist Church.  RSVPs are requested in helping plan the session, but NOT required.
