auditor that your financial
statements represent in
accordance with generally
accepted accounting
principles,” he said.
Cavaliere added the
district also received the
highest possible score on
its financial statements
from the State Board of
Education.
“It is a standard measuring
metric that a lot
of school districts tend to
look at regarding their financial
profile score,” he
said. “It’s a 4.0, which is
a recognition status. So
you received the highest
rating on all of those particular
metrics. Ultimately
the district’s financial
statements continue to be
healthy.”
In addition to Cavaliere
and his team, the district’s
director of finance and
operations Jason Edelheit
also thanked payroll manager
Jeanne Conte and
bookkeeper Johanna Urban
for their work during
the audit process.
“A lot of work goes into
pulling the documents together,”
he said. “I want to
recognize them for all their
effort in bringing together
all the materials, reports
and information that the
audit team compiles.”

Independent teen
Village Board candidate
withstands ballot
challenge
Nineteen-year-old Benjamin
Polony will be included
on the April 2 ballot
as a candidate for Glenview
Village Board after
four Glenview residents
dropped their objections to
his nominating petitions.
The four residents -
Elizabeth Brown, Kathleen
Gazda, and Judith and
William Traynor - filed
paperwork on Wednesday,
Jan. 9, to withdraw their
previous objections to
more than half of the signatures
Polony submitted
to appear to appear on the
ballot.
Mary Ryan Norwell, an
attorney with Odelson and
Sterk who represented the
residents, submitted the
documents several hours
after a review by the Cook
County Clerk’s Office of
Polony’s nominating petitions
showed Polony had
enough valid signatures
to withstand the residents’
objections.
