A new report outlines how Illinois school districts feel about state education services.
The Lieutenant Governor's office is required by law to direct a committee which approves a survey at least every three years. School districts provide anonymous feedback on the quality and importance of services provided by the state.
More than 350 districts filled out the most recent survey.

In many areas, the state board of education's quality and importance ratings tracked well. They included communication, nutrition programs, and special education. But the report finds continued concerns around funding, mandates, and pensions.
Concerns were also expressed over the quality of support for implementation of Common Core Standards, and adequate technology to administer new computer-based assessments. The goal of the survey is for policymakers to use the results to find improvements.
