Illinois Law Expands State School Funding and Boards
A sweeping legislative session boosted the state distributive fund from 4 million to 6 million dollars and allowed a 0.5 percent increase in school tax levies. It created a state vocational education board with 400 thousand dollars for training, re enacted the community high school law, and raised salaries for county superintendents. Rural districts may consolidate schools and teachers pension funds were expanded. A minimum wage for teachers failed. The changes aim to broaden funding, ease district formation, and eventually prompt free textbooks via voter authorizations.
