GED funding fight shakes Illinois testing office
The GED program faces upheaval as legislators plan to hand duties to the Illinois State Board of Education on July 1. Fogarty argues the office remains essential, issuing teacher and bus driver certifications and routing $2 billion in school funds. ISBE says services must continue until closure, seeking extra funding to assume duties, with August 1995 plans for a suburban Cook County office. Prairie State and PSC officials weigh in, proposing localizing GED tests to community colleges to improve efficiency and scoring.
