The Evidence-Based Funding for Student Success Act (Public Act 100-0465 ) became law on Aug. 31, 2017, combining five grant programs into a single need-based funding formula: General State Aid, Special Education – Personnel, Special Education – Funding for Children Requiring Special Education Services, Special Education – Summer School, and English Learner Education.
For fiscal year 2027,
Public Act 104-0464 provides $300 million in new funding to support tier-based distribution across all organizational units. All organizational units and specially funded units will also continue to receive their Base Funding Minimum. For organizational units, the FY 2027 Base Funding Minimum remains at the same level as the FY 2026 EBF Gross Total State Contribution.
