A+ Illinois principles
A+ Illinois supports the following Education Funding, Education Quality, and Tax Reform Principles
A comprehensive reform package must:
· Increase school funding, quality, and fiscal accountability to ensure that every Illinois child has access to a quality education.
· Restore Illinois’ fiscal health by addressing under-funded state liabilities and raising additional revenues through fair, reliable and sustainable tax sources.
· End Illinois’ over reliance on property taxes to fund schools, provide property tax relief and protect low-income families from unfairly high taxes.
