伊利诺伊州教师工会要求在3B短缺和教师外流的情况下进行教育资金改革。 Illinois teachers union demands education funding reform amid $3B shortfall and teacher exodus.

伊利诺伊州教师联合会的新领导人正在推动对州教育资金进行重大改革,尽管2017年的《循证资金法》规定存在30亿美元的短缺。 New leaders of the Illinois Federation of Teachers are pushing for major changes to the state’s education funding, citing a $3 billion shortfall despite the 2017 Evidence-Based Funding law. 他们说,严重依赖地方财产税的现行制度不公平地给税率高的较贫穷地区造成负担,而较富裕地区则支付更少。 They say the current system, which relies heavily on local property taxes, unfairly burdens poorer districts with high tax rates while wealthier areas pay much less. 工会警告说,资金不足和税法不公平正在迫使教师和家庭离开伊利诺伊州,前往各州获得更好的资金和养老金福利。 The union warns that underfunding and an inequitable tax code are driving teachers and families to leave Illinois for states with better funding and pension benefits. 他们计划在斯普林菲尔德的全州游说日期间倡导改革。 They plan to advocate for reform during a statewide lobbying day in Springfield.
