Senate Bill 16 threatens district funding

Every day, students walk throughout Huntley High School, Conley Elementary, and even Marlowe Middle School. But what if one day, your education was the best than the previous day? What if it continued to grow worse by the day? The Committee of the Whole (COW) Board of Education for District 158 have a growing concern. This is about Senate Bill 16. Senate Bill 16 was proposed last July to be able to fund public education for the state of Illinois. This was meant to improve, never to hurt our state. But as this bill keeps going on, the damage builds to a “Path of Darkness,” said board member Micheal J. Fleck.

[Y]ears ago, Huntley High School moved its graduation ceremony to the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates. In 2015, however, that may change. At Thursday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, board members expressed concern over the graduation ceremony at the Sears Centre Arena. Dr. Burkey presented for approval of the 2015 graduation date for the Sears Centre Arena. Soon this would lead to debate with the board members to discuss other locations that would be cheaper, and more affordable. The main factor to pull from the Sears Centre Arena is the cost which is $30 thousand. Seniors graduate from Huntley High School at around May 30. The Graduation continues to be at Sears Centre Arena. But with this cost, it may be the end for the Sears Centre Arena.The board members presented a location not too far away.
