Schools

Elm 18

Miller Township Community Consolidated School District 210 has $450,000 in debt, according to Illinois State Board of Education 2016 financial reports obtained by the Illinois Valley Times.

Because state law allows the district to borrow a total of $3,832,663, Miller Twp CCSD 210 has reached 11.7 percent of its debt capacity.

The state limits how much school districts can borrow, capping their debt at a percentage of the district's property wealth, as determined by county and township assessors.

Community unit school districts are able to borrow up to 13.8 percent of their total property value, or Equalized Assessed Value (EAV). Elementary school districts are able to borrow up to 6.9 percent of their EAV.

However, school districts exceeding these debt caps are not punished or sanctioned, as the state has no enforcement mechanism in place.

In 2015, Miller Township 210, an elementary school district, had an EAV of $55,545,841, according to ISBE.
