It is my recommendation that you adopt Resolution 6-25, as presented.
 

It is my recommendation that you approve Resolution No. 7-25, designating interest       
            accruing during the current fiscal year and all interest from prior years to be
            treated as interest going forward into the next fiscal year.

            Background: Pursuant to regulatory changes in the Illinois Administrative Code (23 IL.             Administrative Code 100.50), effective July 1, 2008 the Illinois State Board of Education             requires that: "Unless otherwise provided by statute or specified by board resolution adopted            
            prior to June 30 of a fiscal year, interest earnings shall be added to and become part of             principal as of June 30 of the fiscal year."

            Therefore, in order to preserve the District’s option to transfer accrued interest from one fund             to another, the Board will have to act at least once a year by doing one or both of the             following: (1) pass a resolution transferring interest; or (2) pass a resolution designating             interest accruing during the current fiscal year and all interest from prior years to still be             interest going forward. This resolution is an annual resolution, similar to the annual Prevailing             Wage Act resolution. Therefore, this resolution is listed on the consent agenda and will be            
            brought forward in the future on the consent agenda at the same time as the        
            Prevailing Wage resolution.
 

It is my recommendation that you approve the permanent transfers of   Working Cash Interest collected in FY2025 to the Education Fund.
