DINTER3999: 3999(DI)

The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is intervening in East St. Louis SD 189 and North Chicago CUSD 187 as a result of low performance in terms of student achievement and financial management. These interventions resulted in the placement of Financial Oversight Panels and assumption of control of the governance in both school districts. Due to limited financial resources, these districts continue to struggle financially and, as a result of the heavy reliance on state and federal funding, the future financial viability of these two districts is bleak. Past and projected budget reductions to continue operations are such that the ability of the districts to increase student achievement is seriously impaired. Additional state support is needed to assist ISBE and the districts in their efforts to continue to improve the schools.
