The Illinois State Board of Education has notified us that a fiscal year 2010 appropriation was not awarded for the Parent Guardian Transportation Reimbursement Program authorized under Section 29-5.2 of the Illinois School Code.
The lack of FY2010 funding will prevent the State Board from paying any Parent Guardian Transportation claims filed for the 2008-09 school year. These payments are normally made in December of each year. In the event that funds are restored in this fiscal year, we will promptly pay the 2008-09 claims that were submitted.
According to the Catholic Conference of Illinois Newsletter, the textbook loan program was also cut completely. The School Safety Block Grant was cut by 75% and the Preschool for All program was cut by 10%.
The Good News is that the $500 Tuition Tax Credit will not be affected by the budget shortfall at this point and remains available to all of our families.

- Holy Family Catholic School is continuing its efforts to bring legislative action information to you. Now, more than ever, we need to stay on top of the issues that impact our school because there will be economically challenging times ahead of us. This corner of our web site is where you can go for updated information on legislative issues. The last legislative session has been very difficult for non-public schools, with severe cuts in funding. Much depends upon on how the governor and legislature handle to budget deficit, and it is hard to predict what will come up. Whatever happens, we will keep you advised when to communicate with your legislators on particular bills.
