Fuerstenau: School Funding Senate Bill 231 Awaiting Vote in Illinois Senate

During the Treasurer's Report at Monday night's Taylorville School Board meeting, Superintendent Doctor Gregg Fuerstenau told the board and audience, that Senate Bill 231 to change the state school aid formula, was still awaiting a vote in the Senate.  Fuerstenau also reported that recently released figures to fully fund the current state aid formula, would mean some 76-thousand dollars less for the Taylorville District next school year.

Fuerstenau complimented the local Citizens for Education committee that is working to improve school funding.  The Taylorville Superintendent said the group has been working with other school districts in the effort to get more dollars for local schools, as well as testify at several Task Force hearings in Springfield where House Speaker Michael Madigan was in attendance.
