DeWitt County School District Thankful For New Funding Model

It took nearly a month of overtime but the State of Illinois leadership finally came up with a new funding model for schools in the state.
 
That is to the delight of almost everyone, including Blue Ridge Schools and Superintendent Susan Wilson. While having the funding mechanism now in place, she questions what the private school waivers are going to look like and how that will impact Illinois public schools.
 
 
Despite the questions she has for the waivers, she notes the evidence based model is well thought out and researched.
 
 
Wilson indicates the district had a plan in place in the event they weren't going to see state money for a long stretch of time.
 
 
According to Wilson, Blue Ridge will actually come out better than they were before. She estimates that to be an additional $25,000 or $30,000 from the state.
