The Real Bugs That Emerged in IL are CTU Members

It’s a Scam…
It;s a Scam. I am talking about the complete failure of Evidenced Based School Funding (EBF), the new system adopted to spend state money on education in 2017.

This created large disparities in how much was spent on education among our 862 school districts (Florida, with nearly 70% more people, has only 68 school districts, btw); those disparities were mostly a factor of local property wealth and the numerous special grants that overtook the old general state aid formula over time.
