The Trump administration's push to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education has raised concerns among Illinois leaders, according to reporting from the Associated Press and the Illinois Attorney General's office. Meanwhile, education advocates are requesting approximately 747 million dollars in new K-12 funding for next year, far exceeding what the state is expected to have available. The requests include continuing a 350 million dollar annual increase for the Evidence-Based Funding formula and adding 100 million dollars for mandated programs like special education and transportation.
On the business front, Governor JB Pritzker announced nearly 10 million dollars in new state funding to support 47 small businesses across Illinois through the Small Business Capital and Infrastructure Grant Program. The announcement came at Soul Good Coffee in Skokie, with the Governor emphasizing that small businesses face mounting pressure from federal tariffs and economic uncertainty. The funding aims to strengthen operations and support entrepreneurs from historically underrepresented groups.
Illinois schools are making environmental progress with West Aurora School District 129 rolling out 27 electric school buses, now representing the largest EV bus fleet in the Chicago region. The district received a 5.5 million dollar grant from the EPA's Clean School Bus program and an additional 930,000 dollars from ComEd. The district expects to save around 120,000 dollars annually on fuel costs while reducing emissions.
The Illinois General Assembly recently concluded its fall veto session with several significant bills passing, including SB 25, an energy omnibus focused on battery storage that makes Illinois the first deregulated state to establish statewide integrated resource planning. The legislation also repeals a 40-year moratorium on constructing new large-scale nuclear reactors over 300 megawatts. Additional measures passed included updates to scholarship programs and freedom of information reforms.
Various school districts across Illinois continue facility improvements, with projects ranging from construction updates in Aurora and District 204 to new amenities like a bowling alley at Evergreen Park High School.
Looking ahead, listeners should watch for how Illinois responds to federal education policy changes and whether the state will secure additional funding for schools as budget preparations continue into 2026.
