Ellman announces local schools will receive over $915,000 in evidence-based funding

School children and teacherNAPERVILLE – State Senator Laura Ellman announced that eight school districts across the 21st District will receive over $915,000 in additional funding to help alleviate financial challenges.

“Evidence-based funding gives schools the resources and financial backing they need,” said Ellman (D-Naperville). “These investments are critical in ensuring local schools meet their children’s educational needs.”  

The funding comes from the 2017 Illinois Senate Democrat-backed evidence-based funding formula – an overhaul of the way the state funds K-12 education. The law made school funding more equitable by calculating the needs of individual school districts and basing its state revenue on those needs. The formula takes into account a district’s total enrollment, poverty rate and number of special education or English language learners, among other factors.

State Senator Laura EllmanSPRINGFIELD – Illinois students from middle school through high school will learn about the dangers of fentanyl at the start of the 2025-2026 school year, thanks to a new law championed by State Senator Laura Ellman.

“Drug overdoses leave families heartbroken and can escalate quickly without immediate, proper care,” said Ellman (D-Naperville). “Educating our youth – the future of our families and communities – about fentanyl’s serious health risks and how to care for those facing misuse will prevent patterns of abuse across the state.”

The Illinois Department of Public Health states a lethal dose of fentanyl is smaller than a drop of water. Opioids, including fentanyl, heroin and other drugs, are involved in 70% of fatal drug overdoses.
