Rep. Brady Wants Leaders To Meet To Discuss School Funding Reforms

A local lawmaker is calling for leaders on both sides of the isle to get together and hash out a school funding formula.
 
State Representative Dan Brady encouraged both sides to go to their leaders and have a discussion about how to resolve the impasse on SB1.   
 
 
Illinois lawmakers held their first in a series of special sessions in Springfield Wednesday to address school funding reform.  
 
While there is money in the budget for K-12 education, none of it will be doled out to schools until a new school aid formula is enacted.  The General Assembly approved Senate Bill 1 in May to revise the funding formula, but never sent it to Governor Rauner.   
 
Rauner says he will rewrite the bill using his amendatory veto powers because he said it unfairly benefits Chicago schools.
