East Central Reporter

East Central Illinois residents would pay $99,090,449 more in state income taxes if the state agrees to increase school funding by $7.2 billion, according to an East Central Reporter analysis of Illinois Department of Revenue data.

Superintendent Tony Smith called for increasing K-12 public schools funding to $50 billion next year, or $27,000 per student. Smith hasn’t said where he expects the new money to come from.

The state raised income taxes by 32 percent just six months ago, in part to fund a new school spending plan. If the superintendent's plan goes through unchanged, Teutopolis residents would see the largest average increase in East Central Illinois at $1,206 per household.
