Illinois’ school choice scholarship program is set to expire at the end of the year if state legislators don’t approve an extension. Gov. J.B. Pritzker made a stop at a school in Matteson on Thursday to highlight the start of the school year.
The state has increased public K-12 funding by $350 million several years in a row. But, the privately-funded Invest in Kids program that grants scholarships to eligible families to send their children to a school of their choice is set to expire at the end of the year. State Sen. Andrew Chesney said it’s crucial legislators extend the program during the fall veto session.
Legislators return for the veto session in late October.
