Mumbo Jumbo

One way to accurately describe the current school funding situation is to, generously, say it is confused. I prefer to say that the crisis is akin to 'mumbo jumbo.' With different formulas, a veto of the original bill by the governor of the state, an override of the veto by the IL Senate and more is it any wonder that the August state payment wasn't made?

This is serious for obvious reasons. People have to get their acts together in order for students to prosper. This isn't the way to treat people. Education is a bedrock of our society and unless, and until, our leaders step up to see the need to properly handle the funding of our schools we will surely suffer for error of their ways.
