USE School Funding Roll Call Estimate
The remaining budget issue to be resolved in the next few weeks involves the school funding trigger language in Public Act 100-0021 (Senate Bill 6) at page 433, which states that a total of $6.7 billion is “appropriated to the Illinois State Board of Education for Evidence-Based Funding, provided for in Section 18-8.15 of the School Code.”
Currently, there is no Section 18-8.15 in the Illinois School Code, 105 ILCS 5.
Senate Bill 1 remains the closest school funding bill to the finish line but is mired in the politics of Chicago vs. everywhere else. Regardless of what bill makes it to the Governor, a school funding vote is more politically complicated than the recent budget votes. If the legislation is not an agreed bill between the parties, the Senate has enough Democratic votes but there will have to be cross party voting in the House with some Democrats voting ‘no’ and some Republicans voting ‘yes’.
School Funding Trigger Explained
Currently, there is no Section 18-8.15 of the School Code in the Illinois statutes so it appears that a Section 18-8.15 of the School Code involving “evidence-based funding” would need to go into effect through legislation before payments could be made to school districts for personal services, operational costs, and administrative costs.
The school funding trigger language in Senate Bill 6 does not appear to impact any other appropriations or budget bills, and it remains in effect once it becomes law. With the budget bill vetoes being overridden, the $6.7 billion that is “appropriated to the Illinois State Board of Education for Evidence-Based Funding, provided for in Section 18-8.15 of the School Code” would continue to be appropriated without an ability to spend the appropriation until there is “Evidence-Based Funding, provided for in Section 18-8.15 of the School Code.”
Senate Bill 6 does not define “evidence-based funding” for purposes of the appropriation other than to direct the ISBE and Comptroller to Section 18-8.15 of the School Code. Either way, the term has been regularly used during school funding negotiations for several years and the ISBE has a summary of various funding proposals (https://www.isbe.net/Pages/Education-Funding-Proposals.aspx).
Evidence-Based Funding Legislation
There are four pieces of legislation that add a Section 18-8.15 to the School Code and each involve “evidence-based funding”; however, only one is currently in a position to be sent to the Governor immediately:
- Senate Bill 1 (Manar-D) passed both chambers but held in the Senate on Motion to Reconsider;
- Senate Bill 1124, Senate Amendment #3 (Barickman-R) Senate Third Reading with amendment not yet adopted;
- House Bill 2808 (Davis-D) House Second Reading;
- House Bill 4069 (Pritchard-R) House Appropriations-Education Committee

Do you currently segment your association’s membership for marketing campaigns? Do you send out varying email messages based on member type, geographic location, special interest group, etc.? What about by generation? That last one’s a HUGE opportunity not only for engagement, but for retention as well. Different members have different wants and needs, and often, those tie back to a member’s age and career stage.

 "SWOTs suck!" That's a direct quote from an association executive in a class discussing strategic planning. I may have agreed, probably smiled, but I would not have said it quite like that. SWOT is a euphemism for a process to analyze the environment affecting an organization. The acronym stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Its purpose is to examine the current situation of an organization by considering internal and external factors.

Here’s something associations can take to heart: It’s not terribly resource intensive and costly to succeed (relatively speaking), if we leverage choice and focus. We often hear, associations want to be the “Amazon” of their profession or field. But, is this the right approach for sustainability?

Some associations treat their supplier members like lepers, while others consider their associate members to be potential strategic partners. In meetings industry publications you’ll read about how to generate more profit from your meetings; mostly by selling more exposure opportunities to your supplier members. This, by the way, is a good thing, but only if you keep the two-way value proposition in mind.

 Most social media marketers spend 6-11 hours a week on social media. That includes everything from creating content to analyzing metrics. Simply put, there are not enough hours in the week. Instead of trying to do it all, do more of what works and less of what doesn't. Below are five types of digital content you should invest more in — and five types you can nix from your never-ending to-do list.
