Financial Information and Reporting


Financial Information

Since the 2015-2016 school year and subsequent deficit reduction plan, the Bethalto School District has made financial progress, while  improving wages and benefits for employees and allowing the tax rate to decrease.
Picture
Financial Profile Score
This indicator is a measure of a school district's financial risk, as determined by the Illinois State Board of Education.  The district's Financial Profile Score has improved from a 2.45 - Financial Watch (highest financial risk) to between a 3.60 and 3.80 - Financial Recognition (highest financial strength).

Picture
Days Cash on Hand
This indicator provides a projected estimate of the number of days a district could meet operating expenditures provided no additional revenues were received.  The district's days cash on hand has improved from 23 days (not enough to cover one month's worth of expenditures) to over 160 days.

Picture
Fund Balance to Revenue Ratio
This indicator reflects the financial strength of the district by dividing the ending fund balances by the revenues for the four operating and negative IMRF/SS funds.  This district's fund balance and revenue ratio has improved from a low of 0.080 (8%) to a much more stable financial footing of over 0.400 (40%).​

Picture
Expenditure to Revenue Ratio
This indicator reflects how much is expended for each dollar received by dividing the total expenditures for three of the four operating funds by the revenues for those same funds plus the Working Cash Fund.  This district's expenditure to revenue ratio has improved from a high of 1.040 ($1.04 spent for every $1.00 received) to a much more stable ratio below 0.950 (less than $0.95 spent for every $1.00 received).

Picture

Picture
