Illinois is seeing significant changes in education funding, with increased state support leading to expansions and improvements in various districts. Initiatives like Gov. J.B. Pritzker's “Smart Start Illinois” aim to eliminate preschool deserts by increasing investment in early childhood education, addressing gaps in accessibility.

Recognizing the impact of poverty, foundations and school districts are focusing on meeting basic needs to improve educational outcomes.
