This bill appropriates $225 million from the General Revenue Fund (GRF), which is the state's primary operating fund, to the Illinois State Board of Education. The specific purpose of this funding is to provide a grant to the Chicago Board of Education for constructing a new school facility for Washington High School, located at 3535 E. 114th St. in Chicago. The bill specifies that the appropriation can be used for up to the full $225 million amount as needed for the school construction project. The legislation will become effective on July 1, 2025, which means the funding will be available and the project can commence at the start of the next fiscal year. This bill represents a significant investment in educational infrastructure, specifically targeting the replacement or major renovation of Washington High School's facilities.
