State Senator Doris Turner announced that multiple Christian County School Districts will receive additional funding to help address financial challenges in recent years.  Senator Turner says that she has made it a priority to set students on a path to be lifelong learners and that students deserve to have every opportunity.  She also stressed that continuing commitment to invest in schools ensures students have a well-rounded learning environment for years to come.  

Funding was made possible thanks to new laws passed in 2017 that made school funding more equitable by calculating the needs of individual school districts and basing state revenue on those needs.  

South Fork and Edinburg School Districts are both receiving money.  South Fork is receiving $114,023 and Edinburg is receiving $3,443.  FY 2024 budget invested $350 million towards school districts.  For more information on the budget, visit the Illinois State Board of Education’s website.
