(Rock Island, IL) — Local superintendents in the Quad Cities sound like school leaders across most of the rest of the state. They are frustrated that they are heading into a new school year without a plan to pay for schools. But they are hopeful that lawmakers and Governor Rauner can agree on something soon. Rock Island-Milan Superintendent Michael Oberhaus said last week that he hopes the legislature and the governor can come to terms before schools have to make the decision whether to stay open or to close their doors.
