Illinois schools will soon resume receiving state funding, after Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a bipartisan compromise that passed the House and Senate earlier in the week.

Sean Crawford hosts with regular panelists Charlie Wheeler and Brian Mackey, and NPR Illinois Education Desk reporter Dusty Rhodes.
