History
In 1859, a board of five men, the Illinois Board of School Commissioners, was appointed to oversee education in Illinois. They supervised the state's schools and charged all schools that they were regulating with a tax of $100 per teacher annually. Schools that did not meet the board's guidelines were closed. By 1895, there were nearly 1,500 schools across Illinois that were charged with a $25 annual tax.
In the 1960s and early 1970s, school funding was directly tied to property taxes. In 1965, the Illinois General Assembly changed the system to equalize per-pupil spending between districts based on the number of students enrolled. In 1971, it was declared that school districts could not lay off teachers. In 1972, the Illinois Constitution was amended to put the General Assembly in charge of the Illinois Department of Education. In 1973, the Illinois School Finance Authority was formed. It began to allow school districts to charge be359ba680
