The program targets 170 school districts that account for 80% of vacancies.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday highlighted a proposed grant program that would direct $70 million per year over the next three years to school districts facing the greatest teacher shortages.
"The result will be that over 870,000 Illinois students will see an improved teacher-student ratio, a critical factor in classroom success," Gov. Pritzker said at a Friday news conference at Streamwood High School."Our collective goals are to make sure we have enough great teachers in every classroom."
Sanders pointed to Illinois State Board of Education data that shows Illinois schools reported 3,558 unfilled teaching positions as of October 2022. The governor has spent several recent news conferences publicizing his plans on education issues, including his proposed"Smart Start" program to expand access to preschool and child care throughout the state. In the weeks following his budget address, he visited Springfield, Rockford, East St. Louis, Chicago, Mount Vernon, Chicago, Peoria and Macomb to rally support for the plan.
