OLSON In the ongoing discussion of school finance reform, one idea that has received little serious attention in Illinois is a local income tax to replace all or part of the property tax to support schools. Illinois State Senator Harry (Babe) Woodyard's proposal to authorize local school districts in Illinois to levy an income tax garnered 18 votes in the State Senate in 1993 during the 88th General Assembly. The current 89th General Assembly has put off action on this and other school finance measures while it awaits a report from a panel headed by former University of Illinois President Stanley Ikenberry. The report is scheduled to be submitted in March.

College of Education News University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Home News Archive Print Version Illinois Public Schools are Now on a Standards Based System: What Does that Mean, Exactly? Posted May 24, 2002 The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) implemented the Illinois Learning Standards in 1998-99, joining 47 other states that have done so, or are in the process. These standards establish a framework of content-oriented skills and knowledge that all Illinois P-12 students should have. ILS cover seven general learning areas and are the initial component in the transition to a comprehensive standards-based learning system in Illinois. ILS implementation is tied to a massive restructuring and redevelopment of teacher-preparation assessment and accreditation programs in the state. While teaching the students is the core of standards-based education, ensuring that those doing the teaching are properly prepared to do so is a direct corollary. ILS at a Glance ILS - Illinois Learning Standards implemented by ISBE in 1998 Content-based standards across seven core knowledge and skill areas ILS are intended to provide common framework for P-12 education in Illinois A first step in development of comprehensive standards-based education system in Illinois Impacts to teacher-training institutions are and will continue to be pronounced Evaluation and realignment of institution-wide preparation programs to meet standards-based system requirements is an enormous task
