Financial Philosophy

Union Ridge School District 86 is committed to creating, maintaining and improving educational programs in a fiscally responsible and efficient manner.  We take great care in ensuring that local tax revenue, state, federal and other revenue received are used to maximize the learning potential for each student.

Our multifaceted approach includes increasing revenues and controlling expenditures.

  • Seeking grants from the state and federal governments, and from private sources
  • Developing partnerships with and donations from companies, service organizations, and foundations
  • Seeking waivers from the state when deemed appropriate

Controlling Expenditures

  • Controlling costs in non-educational areas to provide resources for use in instructional programs
