Important State Funding Information!
In January, the Illinois State Legislature passed Senate
Bill 783, which included a provision that allows nonpublic schools – such as
the Schools of St. Benedict – access to the $75 million Educational Improvement
and School Safety Block Grant. This
means that for the first time ever schools can be reimbursed directly from the
state for money spent on various health and safety measures. For
St. Benedict
This is a great step forward for all nonpublic schools and it is important that we thank our government officials for supporting this legislation. Please take just a couple of minutes to e-mail thank you letters to the governor and the legislators in our district. See below for the letters... There you will find addresses for the applicable officials. If you choose not to write your own letter, feel free to cut and paste the letters you find on the website into an e-mail and send to the governor, senator, and representative listed.
