Senate committee backs Blagojevich education overhaul plan
The Illinois Senate committee advanced a proposal letting Gov. Blagojevich replace all members of the State Board of Education and cut the state superintendent’s term, while critics argued it ignores student achievement and funding inequality. The measure would also create an optional statewide district purchasing program and a prescription drug plan for districts, with floor action anticipated.
