Our school system encompasses 68.8 square miles and educates students from all of Oswego, and portions of Aurora, Joliet, Montgomery, Plainfield and Yorkville. The school district operates on a $200 million budget and includes 22 schools. At a time when the economy remains somewhat stagnant across Illinois, School District 308 continues to grow.
