Fiscal Note (Illinois Board of Higher Education) | |
The Illinois Student Assistance Commission estimate uses the percentage of the school eligible for Free or Reduced Lunch as a proxy, not knowing how The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity would define a poverty area. About 61,000 teachers work in schools with at least 40% of students eligible for free or reduced price lunch, and around half of teachers already hold a master's degree, leaving roughly 30,000 teachers who might be eligible for the program. According to College Navigator data, the weighted average tuition and fees for undergraduate school in Illinois is about $13,000. The weighted average for graduate school at Illinois public universities is about $13,509. The bill proposes covering half the cost. If most teachers wanted to attend graduate school parttime, then the average cost per participant using graduate tuition and fees is $13,509 x 0.5 x 0.5, or $3,377 per participant. Determining participation is more complicated. If half of the eligible teachers chose to participate, the cost would be 15,000 x $3,377, or about $50 million. If 10% wanted to participate it would be 3,000 x $3,377, or about $10 million. |
