[Summary of the reorganization and merger of the Illinois Department of the Lottery, the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, and the Illinois Racing Board with the Illinois Department of Revenue, pursuant to Executive Order 9, which took effect on June 1, 2003]

In accordance with 15-ILCS 15/11, from Chapter 127, paragraph 1811, the following report is offered to summarize the reorganization of the Department of the Lottery, the Liquor Control Commission, and the Illinois Racing Board merger with the Department of Revenue, pursuant to Executive Order 9, which took effect on June 1, 2003. As part of the governor's ongoing effort to streamline state government and improve efficiency, the consolidation eliminated duplication by integrating administrative functions of the agencies with the Department of Revenue. The change resulted in savings of $3 million on an annual basis from 29 fewer positions and a reduction of leased office space at 7 Lottery locations throughout the state. Streamlined operations were achieved by merging human resource management, procurement, accounting, information technology, and other administrative support services. In addition, Lottery headquarters in Springfield and Chicago, as well as sales district office locations throughout the state were merged with existing Department of Revenue offices, significantly reducing state lease costs. Core functions of the Lottery, Liquor Control Commission, and Racing Board remain intact, and the boards and commission that oversee these entities retain their regulatory responsibilities. The department is considering recommending "clean-up" legislation to replace statutory references to the "Department of the Lottery" with the "Division of the Lottery" or "Department of Revenue Division of the Lottery".

Access to better education: The school choice experience of families served by low-performing elementary public schools in Miami-Dade County

Public school choice education policy attempts to create an education marketplace. Although school choice research has focused on the parent role in the school choice process, little is known about parents served by low-performing schools. Following market theory, students attending low-performing schools should be the primary students attempting to use school choice policy to access high performing schools rather than moving to a better school. However, students remain in these low-performing schools. This study took place in Miami-Dade County, which offers a wide variety of school choice options through charter schools, magnet schools, and open-choice schools. ^ This dissertation utilized a mixed-methods design to examine the decision-making process and school choice options utilized by the parents of students served by low-performing elementary schools in Miami-Dade County. Twenty-two semi-structured interviews were conducted with the parents of students served by low-performing schools. Binary logistic regression models were fitted to the data to compare the demographic characteristics, academic achievement and distance from alternative schooling options between transfers and non-transfers. Multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to the data to evaluate how demographic characteristics, distance to transfer school, and transfer school grade influenced the type of school a transfer student chose. A geographic analysis was conducted to determine how many miles students lived from alternative schooling options and the miles transfer students lived away from their transfer school. ^ The findings of the interview data illustrated that parents’ perceived needs are not being adequately addressed by state policy and county programs. The statistical analysis found that students from higher socioeconomic social groups were not more likely to transfer than students from lower socioeconomic social groups. Additionally, students who did transfer were not likely to end up at a high achieving school. The findings of the binary logistic regression demonstrated that transfer students were significantly more likely to live near alternative school options.^
