South Central residents would pay $96,947,224 more in state income taxes if the state agrees to increase school funding by $7.2 billion, according to a South Central Reporter 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, New Memphis residents would see the largest average increase in South Central at $1,430 per household.
