Focus 205 to Host Third Session, Time to Talk Money

The next session will take place Nov. 12.

In Elmhurst District 205, revenue sources are 90 percent local, with 85 percent coming from property taxes. Whether you have a child in public school or not, if you pay property taxes, you are one of our stakeholders. Strong public schools = strong property values.

The conversation continues at Session 3 - Utilization of Resources for Maximum Student Success with Christopher Whelton, assistant superintendent for Finance and Operations, as the featured presenter. Join the discussion on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 7-9 PM in the York High School Commons. Visit focus205.org to RSVP or call 630-617-2300, ext. 7787 (RSVP). Childcare provided for ages 3-12.
