The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has placed Vienna High School District 133 on its financial "review" list.

ISBE rates school districts on their fund balance and expenditure-to-revenue ratios, days of cash on hand, and percentage of remaining short- and long-term borrowing ability.

Of Illinois' 852 school districts, 640, or 75 percent, earned the state's "Financial Recognition" designation, suggesting they are fiscally sound.

The other 25 percent statewide, or 212 districts, received lower marks from ISBE, suggesting they need work:

147 (17 percent) are under "Financial Review"

43 (5 percent) were given an "Early Warning"

22 (3 percent) are under "Financial Watch"

In Johnson County, 2 of the county's 6 school districts (33 percent) earned the "Financial Recognition" designation.

Four districts - Buncombe Cons SD 43, Goreville CUD 1, Vienna HSD 133 and Vienna SD 55 - were placed under "Financial Review"

ISBE's "School District Financial Profile" was first issued in 2003.
