The State of Illinois owes Blue Ridge Schools almost $500-thousand non-general state aid payments.
The last few weeks on Regional Radio News, we've highlighted area districts and what the state owes them in payments that are not their general state aid payments. According to Superintendent of Blue Ridge Schools, Susan Wilson, the state is very behind in their pledged support.
Many school leaders have been critical of the State's claims that they are fully funding education, and Wilson is among them. She says when they are not funding areas like transportation, it is taking a toll on their budget.
Despite having to move $200-thousand from reserves, Wilson says they remain in a good place.
