Illinois Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker is promising to send more money to schools at the same time he plans to fix the state’s more than $1 billion budget gap.
The governor-elect also backs a plan to set a statewide minimum teacher salary of $40,000 per year, which would drastically increase costs for struggling schools.
Pritzker announced his vision for revamping the state’s education system at Genevieve Melody STEM Elementary School in Chicago on Wednesday, flanked members of his new “Educational Success Committee†of 35 advisers he assembled to get the job done, WTTW reports.
