Several QCA school districts will receive an additional $11 million in funding from the state for evidence-based learning.

“Evidence-based funding is one of the true bright spots we have accomplished here in Illinois,” said Sen. Mike Halpin (D-Rock Island). “Our schools are the key to a healthy community and a bright future. We are making sure our state dollars are put to work aiding the schools that need it most.”

Halpin is an advocate for evidence-based funding as a way to create a targeted and equitable funding model that supports K-12 education. The law makes funding more equitable by providing state revenue based on individual school district needs. Several factors are considered when deciding which districts receive funding, including poverty rate, enrollment, special education and English language learners.
