State Superintendent Ted Sanders proposed a 404 million dollar increase for Illinois grade and high schools for the next fiscal year. The plan would lift total education spending to 2.938 billion, with about 200 million from General State Aid and 89 million for special education. He cited early childhood at-risk programs and school reform, plus a 30 million rise for teacher retirement. Regional hearings are set in Peoria, Mount Vernon, and Northlake in December before submission to the State Board of Education.
