After the rally, participants met with their legislators to emphasize the need for increased state funding for schools.

The majority of school spending is funded by local property taxes. [

Introduction MAIN MENU Intro What's Happening ... More Introduction What is happening to Illinois schools? All over the Chicago area and all over the state, parents are talking about very odd developments: first graders not being taught the mechanics of reading, and being told to guess at words by their shapes second graders asked what "color" math is fourth graders who have never had any real substance in history or geography fifth graders told to choose from an odd selection of "award-winning" books with depressing topics a lone sixth grader reciting his report on Britain the only exposure his grade-school classmates will ever get to English history seventh graders doing a unit on rainforests (for the third time) graduating eighth graders who can't do math without a calculator, can't identify major cities, states or nations of the world on a map, and who have never heard of Copernicus, Renoir, or Frost How can this be, in a state that speaks of its "strong state standards" for education? How can this be, in towns and suburbs groaning under huge property taxes to pay for their lavishly-funded local schools? How can this be, when the average district superintendent makes more than the Illinois governor?

Illinois FIRST and Public Schools What is Illinois First? Illinois FIRST stands for the Illinois fund for I nfrastructure, R oads, S chools, and T ransit. Gov. Ryan signed this five-year, $6.3 billion package into law in May 1999. $1.1 billion of that $6.3 billion will be spent on Illinois public schools. The State chipped in another $153 million for school construction as of July 2000. Adding up those new funds and the $1.1 billion in local matching funds, the state legislation will leverage a total of $2.5 billion available for public schools over the next five years. Illinois FIRST: A Summary State Local Federal Total Schools $1.1 billion $1.1 billion $2.2 billion Public Transit $2.1 billion $2 billion $4.1 billion Roads $1.5 billion $2.6 billion $4.1 billion Other Infrastructure $1.6 billion $1.6 billion Totals $6.3 billion $1.1 billion $4.6 billion $12 billion How does it work for schools? Illinois FIRST school construction dollars are allocated by the Illinois Capital Development Board’s (CDB) School Construction Program. Before districts can receive State funding, they must first apply for eligibility through the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). All eligible districts are then ranked according to need. Schools suffering from man-made or natural disasters, overcrowding due to population growth, or aging buildings are given highest priority. Eligible districts are not guaranteed funding and may reapply by July 1 st of each fiscal year if they have been denied funding. The School Construction Program only funds the construction of academic space, administrative and support areas, off-site improvements, and moveable equipment.

OPENING THE COURTROOM DOORS TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES Office of the Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan Opening the Courtroom Doors to People with Disabilities Access to the legal system is a basic necessity in our society. In Illinois, there are 1.7 million people with disabilities requiring access to legal services. Those legal needs include assistance with buying a home, getting a divorce, drafting a will and planning for retirement. In addition to seeking legal representation, most people with disabilities want to participate in the legal system - as jurors, witnesses, litigants, attorneys and judges. In some cases, however, physical, attitudinal and informational barriers keep them from participating in the legal process. People with disabilities are entitled, as a matter of law, to fair and equal opportunities in all aspects of their daily lives. The Office of the Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is providing this information to judges, attorneys, and court administrators in the state of Illinois. In addition, office training materials are available to educators at Illinois law schools so that future attorneys can be exposed to this important information. The Office ofthe Attorney General intends to make Illinois the premier state for acknowledging and accommodating the needs of people with disabilities in a legal setting. Your assistance in this endeavor is deeply appreciated and essential to its success.

CITY-WIDE SCHOOL-BASED PEER JURY INITIATIVE Office of the Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan City-Wide School-Based Peer Jury Initiative In 2001 a very important initiative was developed to develop peer juries in Chicago Public High Schools. The initiative is a collaboration between Alternatives, Inc. and Chicago Public Schools. Since 1996, Alternatives, Inc., a non-profit community agency, has coordinated the Senn High School Peer Jury, the first and only peer jury in Chicago Public Schools. Chicago Public Schools and the Advisory Committee kicked off a four-stage process (orientation, training, implementation, and evaluation) to establish peer juries in schools across the city. On November 1st and 2nd, 23 schools participated in an orientation based on the Alternatives’ school-based peer jury model. The teams attending the orientation consisted of youth, parents, teachers, school administrators, and community organizations. Presenters and discussion leaders included both teens and adults. The orientation explored the values of balanced and restorative justice, explained how those values related to the peer jury process, and how peer juries can provide an alternative to suspension and expulsion. The teams also learned how to engage their colleagues and the community using the model presented by the Asset Based Community Development Institute at Northwestern University. Finally, each team received an action plan and timeline to guide them. Back to IYCA Main Page

"I am very proud of the accomplishments that the General Assembly and I have made during this session. We have worked very hard together to find agreement on a number of issues and concerns that affect this state. In my book, this session was a tremendous success," Ryan said. "My thanks go out to all legislators, and especially the legislative leaders, for their willingness to put partisanship aside in favor of the best interests of the people of Illinois. As I had hoped, the last legislative session of the 20th Century has prepared Illinois well for the first years of the 21st Century."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 6, 2000 LEININGER TO CHAIR EDUCATION FUNDING ADVISORY BOARD SPRINGFIELD - Governor George H. Ryan today named Former State School Superintendent Robert Leininger as chairman of the Educational Funding Advisory Board, a panel which must recommend legislative changes to Illinois' school aid formula. The Governor expanded the Education Funding Advisory Board, which was created by law in 1997, to include13 ex-officio members. The Board is required by law to recommend modifications to the general state aid formula to bring it up to date. The recommendation must be based on a methodology that incorporates per pupil spending at schools with high concentrations of children from poverty. The Governor is asking the 18-member advisory board to hold hearings throughout the state to receive input from educators, parents, local officials, business and the general public on school funding issues. While the ex-officio members will be equally involved in hearings, only the five statutorily mandated advisory board members have voting rights on the final report. "'This panel has an extremely difficult task to complete in a short amount of time on an extraordinarily very complex issue," Ryan said. "However, I'm confident the panels findings will provide invaluable benefit to Illinois educational system," he said.
