No method of funding to education has been approved yet, even though a budget has been passed in Illinois. This is because the spending plan, which lawmakers enacted earlier this month, included a requirement that school funding be distributed through a new method. The method has not become law yet, so schools are stuck waiting for the new method before classes restart sometime next month. Rauner has promised to veto the bill. The funding method, would funnel more money into districts with less local property wealth and specific economic needs. Rauner objects the bill, because he says it unfairly boosts Chicago’s school funding and focuses more on bigger cities. A veto could leave lawmakers little time to review and edit the bill, with school set to start in August. Jennifer Gill, a superintendent for the Springfield School District, states she supports legislation and their decision, but worries that the wrangling in Congress will interfere with the upcoming school year. The bill is called SB1.
