Education Funding Reform in Illinois

School Bus

WSIU's Jennifer Fuller sits down with Illinois State Sen. Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) and Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon (D-Carbondale) to talk about Senate Bill 16.

The legislation would dramatically change how the state funds education. Manar and Simon are traveling the state, meeting with school superintendents and others to talk about the plan, and its prospects for becoming law.

Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director. She will oversee the launch and operations of CNI’s new broadcast division.
