If all of Illinois’ schools are going to open next fall, local superintendents say they need some money and certainty from state lawmakers now.  The superintendents say they’re not as interested in which school funding plan is approved by the end of the month.  So long as something is approved.  United Township Superintendent Jay Morrow says without an education budget, local schools can’t guarantee a full school year.  “We’re blessed that we have enough reserves to get us through next year,” Morrow said.  “But there are many districts that will not be able to open their doors.  Or will have to close mid-year.”  Governor Rauner says he wants a vote on a “clean” education funding plan.  Democrats in Springfield are balking.  They’re instead pushing a proposal from State Senator Andy Manar that’d send more money to Chicago Public Schools.  But Burbonnais Superintendent Dan Hollowell says that’s not going to help downstate.  “One of the issues with Senator Manar’s plan, it’s ‘rob from Peter to pay Paul’,” Hollowell said.  “It’s the same dollars.  It’s just the way it’s distributed.  You still have winners and losers.”
