Quinn Cuts Educational Offices

A longstanding battle to save Regional Offices of Education across the state is finally over.  Bob Daiber [[Dy-ber]], President of the Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools, says a compromise with the governor means districts can still be served effectively.

Daiber says the reduction was necessary in order to save the offices.  Governor Quinn had slashed the salaries of regional superintendents last year, but didn't provide a plan on how the offices would function without them.  Lawmakers eventually found a way to pay the supes after they went five months without a check.  Daiber says the reduction in regional offices means about 200 people will lose their jobs.
