Districts anxiously await their state aid payments

At this time every year, local school administrators begin to fret about if and when they are going to get the final portion of their general state aid payments.

The money isn't chump change, either. The payments represent about 1/12th of the money that public schools need to pay their bills. For example, the payment owed to the Rantoul City Schools is $622,280, and for Danville School District 118 it's $2,344,981.
