​FY 2026 State Budget

As another legislative session and school year have come to a close, the recent passage of the fiscal year 2026 state budget reaffirms Illinois’ strong commitment to the future of public education. I want to thank Governor JB Pritzker and members of the General Assembly for their steadfast leadership and for prioritizing public education funding amidst an incredibly uncertain and challenging fiscal environment.

While this year’s $15.85 billion education budget reflects an overall reduction from FY 2025 due to the planned phase-out of federal pandemic relief funds, the state has made strategic decisions to increase General Funds support for education by nearly $279 million. This critical investment underscores the state’s dedication to student success and educational equity.
