Illinois Gets an "F" in Public School Financing, 48 J. Marshall L. Rev. 141 (2014)

Open Access

Abstract

Contrary to the Federal Constitution, almost every state constitution, including Illinois's, specifically guarantees its citizens' the right to a free and efficient education provided by the state. This article will advocate for a number of reforms, which will minimize spending disparities across the state, enhance equality in per-pupil funding, and lower overall operating cost.
