Last spring, Sen. Rezin pushed for and voted for more education dollars and a new funding formula that will better help our schools for years to come.
“The budget I voted for sends a message to our students and teachers that they should rightfully be a priority,” Rezin said. “While I look forward to continuing to make our education system even better, I am pleased our schools are better and more fairly funded this year.”
Here is a breakdown in terms of new dollars for schools in the 38th Senate District for this year, compared to last year.

The budget fully funds ($350 million) the new K-12 Education evidence-based funding formula, resulting in more financial support for schools across Illinois and reducing reliance on local property taxes. The budget also adds $50 million in support for Early Childhood Education and keeps Illinois on track to receive millions in federal matching dollars for these critical programs.
