Residents of Kenilworth, the South Central Loop in Chicago and Glencoe will pay the steepest income tax increases in Illinois if the state agrees to increase school funding by $7.2 billion, according to a Prairie State Wire analysis of Illinois Department of Revenue data.
Superintendent Tony Smith called for increasing K-12 public schools funding to $50 billion next year, or $27,000 per student. Smith hasn’t said where he expects the new money to come from.
The state raised income taxes by 32 percent just six months ago, in part to fund a new school spending plan. If the superintendent's plan goes through unchanged, Kenilworth residents would see the largest average increase in the state at $13,594 per household.
