Hawthorn 73 budget hearing

A public hearing on Hawthorn Elementary District 73's tentative $66.35 million budget for the 2015-16 school is set for 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, in the district office, 841 West End Court, Vernon Hills. The proposed budget is backed by $66.66 million in revenue. The budget is about the same as last year's document. Instruction, which accounts for 57 percent of the expenses, shows a decline under the proposed budget mainly due to the large number of retirements. Salaries and benefits for the district's 600 employees make up 80 percent of the budget. Staff oversees the education of about 4,100 students in preschool through Grade 8. The budget is available for review at the district office.
