Business Services

Responsibilities of the Department of Business Services include many aspects of financial planning for the District, including budgeting, the annual tax levy, investments, and financial reporting. The department consists of three areas, including:

• Accounts Payable which handles purchasing, receiving, invoice payments and contracts
  
• Payroll which handles payroll processing for all District employees, as well as employee pension and retirement benefits
• The District's insurance coverage and many aspects of the Food Service Program, including the State of Illinois Free and Reduced Lunch program.
  

The goal of the department is to increase student achievement by providing financial support to staff and students of the District as directed by the School Board.

The proposed aggregate tax levy for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 is scheduled to be officially estimated on November 13. The Board will hold a public hearing on the levy and is scheduled to approve the final levy on December 9. In late December, the levy will be filed with the Kane County Clerk, which will set the tax rate.
