The Illinois Senate voted Tuesday to approve a new system for funding schools that will reduce large disparities between wealthy and poor districts. The bill now goes to the governor, who says he will sign it quickly.

The Illinois Senate meets Sunday to decide how to handle Gov. Bruce Rauner's amendatory veto of an education funding bill. But already, the state has missed a deadline for funding public schools.

Democrats have kept up a steady attack on Governor Bruce Rauner’s amendatory veto of Senate Bill 1, their education funding reform bill. And at a news conference in Urbana Thursday, they spelled out some of their complaints --- and their worst fear, that the state would enter the new school year with no state funding for public schools.

State Senator Andy Manar says Rauner's veto of SB1 is an "all-out-assault" on public education.

Governor Rauner issued an amendatory veto to Senate Bill One, leaving public school funding in limbo.
