Seven community colleges across Illinois will get some cash here in the new year.
The Illinois Community College Board has approved for seven schools to get some emergency funding. Each will get close to four hundred and thirty thousand dollars.

Three million dollars total will be passed out equally. Each school falls into a different district in the state. And criteria was based on areas getting the least amount of property tax money.

The schools include Lake Land College in Mattoon, Illinois Eastern Community Colleges, Kaskaskia College, John Logan College, Rend Lake College, Shawnee Community College, and Southeastern Community College.

Many of the community colleges have made budget cuts because of the state not having a budget.
