Illinois Board Rejects Gov Thompson Budget Split
The Illinois Board of Education rejected Gov James Thompson's proposed fiscal 1979 school budget and warned it would not be divided as he requested. It kept most funding with the state aid formula and cut or scaled back several grant programs including bilingual education, desegregation assistance, and free text programs, while emphasizing full funding for transportation and special education within constraints.
