Last month Illinois lawmakers approved legislation requiring graduating seniors to apply for aid to college before they would receive their diploma.

Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles weighed in on the legislation and called overreach. Uncertain if it is the FAFSA forms parents fill out, Nettles says if it is, that is a difficult form to navigate. 

Nettles wishes lawmakers would allow local control to navigate issues like these and numerous other legislators have intervened on.
