Note: part of this bill eliminates the current $9,000.00 reimbursement per special ed teacher...
House Bill 2808, the supposedly Evidence Based bill
to change all of the school funding formulas in Illinois,
may be voted on in an Illinois House Committee on
Tuesday, March 28.
If because of what it does to special education, or
because it is extreme local control of K-12 education,
you oppose the bill, you can fill out a Witness Slip
on-line (see below).
