Illinois Sees Major Developments in Education, Politics, and Economic Growth for 2024
Illinois has seen a flurry of significant developments across various sectors in recent weeks.
Top headlines include the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) voting to change its classification system for the 2025-26 school year, aiming to create more competitive balance among schools[1]. In other educational news, several school districts have announced major infrastructure projects, such as Elgin’s Larkin High School finally getting its own sports stadium and Oak Lawn Community High School planning a $40M fieldhouse[1].
In government and politics, the recent elections saw Democrats retain their supermajorities in the General Assembly, with Vice President Kamala Harris winning Illinois' 19 electoral votes[2]. The state also approved several advisory referenda, including one to create a new tax bracket for incomes over $1,000,000 to fund property tax relief[2].
On the economic front, Illinois has added nearly 13,000 new jobs and seen $12 billion in new business investment, according to the Intersect Illinois FY24 Annual Report[3]. This growth is attributed to the efforts of Team Illinois, a coalition that includes Governor JB Pritzker and various state and local economic development partners.
Community news highlights include the redevelopment of the former Arlington Park into a sports facility, with the Chicago Bears reaching a tentative agreement on property taxes[1]. Additionally, there has been a focus on promoting youth sports, with more Muslim girls participating and celebrating their religion while doing so[1].
Environmental and weather updates note that Illinois is expected to experience a mix of above and below average temperatures this winter, with above average precipitation predicted due to the return of La Niña[4].
Looking Ahead, Illinois residents can expect further developments in education reform, with a focus on testing and accountability[1]. Additionally, the state's economic growth is expected to continue, with Team Illinois working to attract more businesses and investments. The winter weather forecast will be refined over the coming months, providing clearer predictions for the season ahead.
