Note to school districts/others with fund 73
Many decisions are required during the establishment of an employee benefit trust fund (fund 73). These decisions are the sole responsibility of the school district. DPI does not make a determination regarding legality or risks associated with the trust including investments and debt. DPI does provide guidance on how to account for the activity for filing DPI required reports and determination of district aid eligibility.
