IL SR1363

Directs the Illinois Auditor General to conduct an audit of Ford Heights School District 169, which serves approximately 400 students across two elementary schools in Cook County's southern suburbs.

Requires the audit to examine whether the district's administrative expenses of $2.3 million annually are justified, including positions such as 10 full-time custodians, 9 secretaries, 2 principals, 2 assistant principals, and 2 attendance officers.

Mandates the audit to evaluate whether the superintendent's salary of $250,853 (scheduled to increase to $285,078.86 by July 1, 2021) is justified compared to other districts, noting it ranks in the top 50 superintendent salaries in Illinois despite serving one of the smallest districts in the Chicago area.

Requires investigation into potential misuse of school district funds, improvement of financial procedures, and the district's overall financial soundness regarding bond and debt service payments.

Directs the Illinois State Board of Education and Ford Heights School District 169 to cooperate fully with the Auditor General and requires a report of findings upon completion.
