The Clinton Board of Education approved its Fiscal Year 26 budget Tuesday night at its monthly meeting. 

Superintendent Drew Goebel discussed the revenue sources with his Board noting, thanks to the Clinton Power Plant, the district's reliance on State of Illinois dollars is minimal.

According to Goebel, there are many unknowns with this budget. He explains while some revenues are coming through, there are some expenditures that are still up in the air.

The buildings and maintenance fund saw the most drastic change from the tentative budget to the final budget, and Goebel points out they have done some great things - especially as it relates to security.

Last year, the District approved a contribution to the Bloomington Area Career Center to help purchase and use the former State Farm building in Bloomington. Goebel - who is on the BACC Board - says it is a phenomenal facility.

Also part of the budget, the district is utilizing technology in its buses. The devices will check students in and also offer GPS tracking.
