Republican Governor Bruce Rauner has announced that he will use his amendatory veto power to remove money for Chicago teacher pensions from the school funding bill. A democratic state senator said that this could effectively kill the legislation and put hundreds of districts at risk of shuttering schools. Under the approved state budget earlier this month, lawmakers need to find a way to distribute school funding in a new, more equitable formula. That new formula isn’t even a law yet. During a stop in Mt. Zion on Monday, Rauner announced that lawmakers sent him a funding bill they approved in May, but he will be removing a Chicago “bailout,” and help provide those funds to other districts in the state. A bill sponsor said that Rauner should be more focused on working with lawmakers on an agreement, rather than holding campaign-style events for television cameras. Illinois already covers pension costs for other districts other than CPS.
