SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT
As most of you have heard last week Governor Pritzker is really trying to sell his graduated income tax initiative. School funding will be wrapped up in the outcome of that vote in two significant ways. The first is Evidence-Based Funding. Gov. Pritzker proposed $350 million additional for EBF, however, $150 million of that amount will be held in reserves and only released if the graduated income tax passes, causing the new tax rate structure to kick in January 1, 2021, bringing with it the additional revenue. That leaves $200 million of new EBF dollars that would be distributed the first half of FY 2021 under Pritzker's budget proposal, primarily to Tier 1 districts and a small number of districts in Tier 2 which we are on the borderline of Tier 2.
The other major area in school funding that will be impacted by the ballot initiative in November is mandated categorical payments. Pritzker's proposal keeps $40 million of the $51.3 million budgeted for categorical payments in reserves. Just like EBF, the reserve dollars would be released in the second half of FY 2021, if the graduated income tax passes in next Novembers elections.
