In true Liberal fashion it would be nice if Chicago reallocated some of that money to other districts in our state. Our shools in O'fallon haven't seen money from the State in over 2 years. Things are so bad they have completely stopped ALL extra cirricular activities at the Jr High. No sports teams, no band, no nothing. At the high school our fees for for sports went up over 300%. Other extracirriculars were up over 200%. In my daughter's Honors Lit class we are required to buy all their books. There are a couple of kids in the class whose parents can't afford the books, so I buy everything in triplicate so those kids have what they need for class.
When the parents ask where all of our property taxes have gone, we get no answer. They are too busy paying for the new high school that only houses the 9th graders to pay for anything else.
