County Board Enters Funding Fray

Macomb, IL ` – A McDonough County Board Member wants a resolution asking for full school funding from the state. Joseph Kersting introduced the resolution at a committee meeting, where he asked Regional Education Superintendent Gary Eddington to outline the issues. Eddington says schools in the area do not have the assessed valuation to raise all the money needed for a good education. This places more stress on local property taxes, making them higher than necessary.
