Senate OKs 860 Million Illinois School Aid Bill
The Illinois Senate approved an $860 million school aid measure for fiscal 1977 by a 51 to 0 vote with five Republican members voting present. The bill funds the Illinois Office of Education operations, categorical grants, and teacher retirement, with about $545 million state money and the rest federal. It moves to the House and may integrate with the IOE education formula in a companion bill. Also approved were a municipal redevelopment bond measure and a $2.8 million Winnebago County school aid bill, moving to the House.
