School budget plan sparks cautious optimism in Illinois districts

Pinckneyville Superintendent Sandi Jerrells welcomed a potential $250 per student increase, about $112,500 for her district, plus steadier state aid, while warning the hold harmless clause must stay. Benton Grade School's Brent Clark offered mixed reviews, praising a higher foundation level but warning about long term funding and property tax relief. The piece notes district deficits and potential grant cuts, with staff reductions already issued.

Blagojevich Budget Boosts Per Pupil Spending Across Illinois

Under Governor Blagojevich, per pupil spending rises to 4810 dollars, up 250 from last year as funds are shifted into schools. 24 grant programs are liquidated to bolster education and 29.9 million is added to the Early Childhood block grant for at risk children. Local officials praise the shift amid a 5 billion shortfall, while regional superintendent funding is redirected to the state aid formula.
