Finding Text

The Illinois General Assembly, pursuant to the Illinois Government Ethics Act (5 ILCS 420/4A-101), requires certain individuals, including District board members, certified school business officials, and administrators, to annually file a statement of economic interest with the county clerk's office. The District had one individual who did not file the statement of economic interest by the May 1st deadline. The District did not ensure that all required individuals filed a statement of economic interest on a timely basis.

Corrective Action Plan

The board member had not attended meetings, and then moved to CO. The District secretary is diligent about reminding those who are required to file.
