Actual Appropria-tion
Senate Republican’s Report on Education Funding Shows Current Law Heavily Favors Chicago
Senate Bill 16 - Intent• SB 16 cherry-picked recommendations of the Senate
Education Funding Advisory Committee (EFAC)
• Proposed changes are intended to equalize education funding using a school district’s ability to pay
• Currently, about 40% of education funding is equalized through the Foundation Grant
• EFAC recommendations would equalize 96% of education funding
• SB 16 equalizes 83% of funding
Senate Bill 16 - Flaws• SB 16 reallocates education funding to create winners and
losers
• SB 16 contains a generic, one-size-fits-all, way to determine local wealth
• SB 16 compromised EFAC’s report by not fully following its recommendations
• Includes a pension pick up for Chicago Teachers ($200 million in State Aid to Chicago)
• Maintains status quo on certain Block Grants that heavily favor Chicago (extra $145 million to CPS through these block grants)
