District Digest

Glen Ellyn School District 41

September 13, 2018

Upgraded Moody’s Rating to Aa1

Moody’s Investors Service has upgraded District 41’s general obligation unlimited tax rating to Aa1 from Aa2. According to Moody’s, the upgrade to Aa1 reflects the district’s strong and growing reserves, an affluent tax base in the Chicago suburbs, and a low debt burden. These attributes are balanced against risks associated with state support for the district's contributions to the underfunded Illinois (Baa3 stable) Teachers Retirement System (TRS) and the potential for a shift in pension costs to the district from the state.
