Last week the Illinois General Assembly passed a $55.2 billion budget for fiscal FY26. The final FY26 budget made almost $400 million in cuts from Governor Pritzker’s proposed budget that was introduced earlier this year. The General Assembly also passed the Budget Implementation Plan which puts the state budget into action by making the necessary changes to state laws so the appropriated funds can be properly spent. 


For K-12 education, the General Assembly’s final FY26 budget still largely aligns with the Governor’s recommended FY26 budget with two important exceptions: Less new funding for the Evidence-Based Funding formula and a reduction in funding for the Teacher Vacancy Pilot Program.
