Public Hearing-Driver's Education Waiver Subject 5.01 Administrator's Comments Meeting Mar 2, 2026 - Meeting 7:00 p.m., Closed Session 6:00 p.m. District Administrative Center, 203 West Hillside Road, Naperville, IL 60540 Type STAFF CONTACT: Michael Frances, CFO/CSBO SUBJECT: ISBE Application for Driver’s Education Fee Waiver MEETING DATE: March 2, 2026 PURPOSE/DECISION TO BE MADE: This waiver was approved by the Board of Education on January 20, 2026, however, it was deemed incomplete by ISBE due to the time of the hearing not being included in the required letters sent to our local representatives. Therefore, we are required to go through the whole process again. The District has fully complied with all State notices requirements (posted on webpage, published in local paper, and revised letters to Legislators and Union representatives from NUEA and NESPA) in preparation for the public hearing of this waiver. RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education authorizes the administration to submit the attached driver education fee waiver application to the Illinois State Board of Education for five years through the 2031 school year. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION: Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/27-815) allows school districts to charge up to $250 for the Driver’s Education course fee. If the District desires to charge above this amount, they must make an application to the State Legislature for a waiver to the school code and hold a public hearing on the said waiver for up to a five-year period. The District first applied and was approved for this waiver with a $400 maximum for the period 2017-2021. The waiver was renewed and approved for 2022-2026 at $400. Administration has written the attached waiver application to allow the School Board to set the fee up to $500 for the 2027-2031 school years. The request for the change is being driven by increases in salary and hourly rates for staff resulting from the recent contract as well as the requirement for us to purchase our own vehicles where they had been donated in the past.

Therefore, we are required to go through the whole process again. The District has fully complied with all State notices requirements (posted on webpage, published in local paper, and revised letters to Legislators and Union representatives from NUEA and NESPA) in preparation for the public hearing of this waiver. RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Education authorizes the administration to submit the attached Annual Statement of Affairs (ASA) waiver application to the Illinois State Board of Education. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION: Prior to this year, 105 ILCS 5/10-17 of the School Code required “…a statement of the affairs of the District” be published annually in the newspaper prior to December 1 with certain District information for the fiscal year ending the previous June 30 th . Recently adopted Public Act 104-0261 made several changes to that requirement which included removing several sections of the report that included duplicative information already reported to ISBE and/or available on the district website. The other major change was that the ASA report is now also required to be published on the district website by December 1 each year. This past fall, the District published the ASA report in the local paper as well as posted the report on our district website. That report can be found here . Administration has written the attached five-year waiver application to allow posting the ASA just on the District website in lieu of also being published in the newspaper. The estimated annual savings is $3,000. Lisle, Indian Prairie, and Plainfield are local school districts that have currently have this waiver in place.

TIMELINE: March 2, 2026 - Discussion without Action March 16, 2026 – Discussion with Action Week Following Approval, if received – File Abatement Documents with Will and DuPage County. BACKGROUND: Annually, the Board of Education has the option to abate all or part of the debt service levy if it is determined that the District has adequate resources to make the required bond payments without the tax levy. The 2025 levy year required bond and interest payments total $151,000. Since the district is estimated to receive $52,850 from the Federal Government for offset on the Build America Bonds, the abatement is for $98,150. This abatement has not been accounted for in the financial projections. FISCAL/PERSONNEL IMPACT: Abating the 2025 debt service levy requires a transfer from the Education Fund to the Debt Service Fund.
