"Illinois has built a good framework for fair school funding. But that structure remains undermined by a pension funding system that totally ignores it, benefits wealthier school districts more than poor ones and treats Chicago differently than everyone else. Fix the pension funding structure, and evidence-based funding will be better able to deliver on its promise."
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Perhaps Illinois needs a single teachers union policy and NOT like CPS.
