Over the past three years the State of Illinois has cut funding to public schools in Illinois by $650 million dollars. Even the money that is being paid to school districts is being pro-rated (95%) or is delayed by many months. It has become common not to receive state payments in the same fiscal year in which they are budgeted. Currently the State owes District # 702 $327,163 in late payments for fiscal year 2012 which began on July 1, 2011. We have received no FY12 payments for mandated categoricals such as special education and transportation.
