Illinois House Rejects Private School Bachelor Degree Bill
The Illinois House on Wednesday refused to pass a Senate backed bill that would require private school teachers hired after July 1, 1973 to hold bachelor degrees. The vote did not reach the 60 needed, with critics arguing it could shutter parochial schools and increase public school crowding. The session also advanced a tax relief for college students and election reform measures, including a voter assistance oversight bill and a five member Chicago Cook County election commission bill.
