How would you restore Illinois’ higher education system?
Comment by Anon0091 Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:00 pm
How much State funding will be lost by the suburban school districts once the “Hold Harmless” provision of the new EBF formula expires in a couple of years?

Governor Rauner, was it wise to devastate Illinois Universities in an attempt to gain leverage to pass anti-worker legislation?
Comment by Ole' Nelson Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:06 pm
Why does the University of Illinois need two law schools? Won’t a UIC law school devastate NIU’s law school? Why is that good policy?
Comment by Anonymous Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:06 pm
Mr. Pritzker
Do you have a plan to restore funding to Illinois Universities so that they may compete with higher education in neighboring states?
Comment by Ole' Nelson Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:07 pm
Do you see or envision a positive role for teachers unions in the development and maintenance of quality public education?
Comment by vseoi; Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:11 pm
Can either of you answer an education question without referencing the other candidate or Speaker Madigan?
Comment by OneMan Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:13 pm
Describe what you believe is the most equitable way to fund public schools.
Comment by Anonymous Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:24 pm
Would you be in favor of lowering local property taxes by guaranteeing that the State provide for 51% of the public school per pupil costs?

Have you ever participated in a schools active shooter lockdown drill?
Comment by Casual observer Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:27 pm
Instead of placing a law school at UIC, would you favor placing the law school at UIS given the location being in the state capitol and long history of UIS alums working in state government?

Has Illinois’ criminal justice system truly been “transformed” during Rauner’s 4 years in office, or do the recommendations of the Commission appointed by Gov. Rauner actually need to be enacted and implemented?
Comment by charles in charge Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:36 pm
How important is the entire package of higher education to you, including EIU, Chicago State, WIU… all the 4-year institutions?
Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:44 pm
In your view, what is the appropriate salary level for a high school teacher in Illinois (a) at entry level, (b) after five years, (c) after ten years?
Should grade school teachers starting out in Illinois (a) be forced to work second jobs to make ends meet? (b) be compelled to purchase supplies and equipment for their classrooms? (If yes, why? If no, how would you ensure that teachers don’t have to do (a) or (b)?)
How would you directly address the teacher shortage threatening Illinois’s primary and secondary school systems?

Governor, why do you hate libraries?
Comment by Cheryl44 Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:54 pm
Could either of you explain why there are teacher’s unions?
Comment by Jake Gittes Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 3:56 pm
According to multiple studies by George Washington University, just one-third of all jobs in the US require a Bachelors Degree or higher. That means about two-thirds of all jobs in American require a two-year degree or less. Yet, more than three-fourths of high school graduates are entering four-year colleges and universities, and just over 25 percent are actually graduating with a four-year degree within six years.
What will your administration do to reorganize education at all levels so that it is more relevant to the world we live in and truly prepares men and women for meaningful careers?
Comment by Commonsense in Illinois Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:02 pm
Commonsense. Excellent.
My question.
Do you think it wise to spend $47k to research the revenue split between E and C?
Comment by blue dog dem Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:16 pm
Have you or any of your children ever been enrolled in an Illinois public school or university? If not, why not?
Comment by Enemy of the State Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:20 pm
When you see the outward migration of college freshmen to universities on merit scholarships, what is the plan to reward our best and brightest to stay in Illinois, when the reason students are leaving is financial?
Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:22 pm
What is your vision for vocational training?
Comment by City Zen Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:23 pm
Why should Illinois have a “hold harmless” clause in the state funding formula? Please explain why a school district that loses 20 percent of its students over the next ten years should never receive less money that it receives today?
Comment by Anonymous Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:27 pm
Are you willing to visit all state universities to tell them your plans for their campus and the region?
If the goal is to make all state universities U of I satellites, does that diminish the U of I brand?
Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:27 pm
How can either of these candidates get through this election without outlining specific solutions to the pension crisis facing the state? There is not enough pot sales and tax hikes to fix it.
Comment by view from the cheap seats Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:28 pm
Due to higher property tax base, some north suburbs spend more than 3x/student than south suburbs spend. Anything the state should do about this?
Comment by Robert the Bruce Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:30 pm
Governor Rauner, What happens to pay levels in private business when a shortage of applicants exists? Why shouldn’t increase salary levels be utilized to combat the current teacher shortage in Illinois K-12 schools?
Comment by Anonymous Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:31 pm
4:31 was me.
Comment by Ole' Nelson Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:32 pm
Either candidate: “If we asked you how you’ll support Higher Education in Illinois, would you tell the truth?”
Comment by Ed Higher Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:45 pm
Any thoughts on reducing the number of school districts in the state?
Comment by Horizontal Man Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 4:50 pm
Why are we staying with common core standards. Switch to something that makes sense.
Comment by Chris Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 5:58 pm
I would ask JB if he supports public education ‘pre-K-college’ and would he support the need for funding Special Education for students with handicaps.
Comment by Mama Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 6:17 pm
I would ask him would he thinks public education teachers, administrators, and staff should be paid?
Comment by Mama Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 6:19 pm
Sorry my statement made above was messed up.
I would ask JB what he thinks public education teachers, etc should be paid.
Comment by Mama Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 6:22 pm
What is your best explantion why, while the expenditure per student has risen dramitically the past twenty years, why has student performance dropped?
Comment by downstate hack Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 6:36 pm
Given all the noise and inaccuracies proliferated, what are some truths that you can share, with regard to the state of public education in Illinois?
Comment by JS Mill Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 7:34 pm
How can you claim to love and support Illinois when you offshore millions of dollars to deprive illinois residents of the benefit of your tax dollars?
Comment by DuPage Moderate Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 7:55 pm
Should the State of Illinois fulfill their constitutional obligation to fund the majority of the cost of education in Illinois?
Comment by Chicago 20 Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 8:02 pm
Starting next fiscal year, are any of you willing to look at different ways to fund all education, which may include property tax relief?
Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 8:05 pm
You called schools crumbling prisons, repealing prevailing wage and cost shift pensions is your brainchild for education reform. Do you have any nonunion ideas?
Comment by Rabid Monday, Sep 24, 18 @ 10:08 pm
With Illinois have the highest African American unemployment rate being the highest in the nation, rather it is urban or rural communities, what is your plan to bring much-needed union trades based high school education back? Follow up how would you address the systematic biases associated with these trade-unions when hiring or training African Americans?

Should professors who “teach” online, sharing YouTube videos and moderating “chat rooms,” make six figure salaries, with seven figure retirements?
Shield brick and mortar public universities have more than 50% of their class offerings be online classes?
Should freshman and sophomores be required to live on campus when their classes are mostly YouTube lectures?

Governor, why do you think the failed war on cannabis is a good idea?
Comment by Illinois Resident Tuesday, Sep 25, 18 @ 8:12 am
==what is your plan to bring much-needed union trades based high school education back?==
Not sure what you mean? Do you mean shop? Wouldn’t that be handled at the local school board level?
==how would you address the systematic biases associated with these trade-unions when hiring or training African Americans?
==
Although in the past there had been discrimination, right now the trades will take anyone with a pulse. They pay for the apprentice classes, not the apprentice. No shop class needed. No Governor needed.
