Suburban districts face waivers battle as lawmakers deny most
In Springfield last week the General Assembly denied six of ten waiver requests from south suburban districts and 29 of 79 statewide, while approving four. State Superintendent Joseph Spagnolo backed denying Matteson District 162 and Zion and Norridge cases. Schmutzler had argued against broad admin spending rules and highlighted discrepancies in attendance impact on state aid. The vote upheld a cap linked to instructional spending, though many waivers tied to definitions of administrative spending were granted under time pressure.
