Illinois Gov signs bills to boost school aid and change Memorial Day
Gov. James R. Thompson in Springfield, with the Legislature, signed two bills to alter the state school aid formula and add 33 million dollars to funding, saying the plan will be fully funded for the first time. He noted a 10.6 percent rise in education spending to 1.9 billion dollars and cited savings on health insurance and old education claims as allowing the extra funding. The measure aims to aid downstate and collar counties while shifting costs from Chicago, and Thompson reluctantly signed a third bill changing Memorial Day to align with the federal holiday, linking the move to summer school reimbursements for the profoundly handicapped.
