(AP) — Illinois is getting $11.9 million in federal stimulus money to create and use a data system that’s designed to track student progress. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the Illinois funding Friday. The federal education department says the system lets states examine student progress from their early childhoods through their careers. The systems also match students with teachers while protecting confidentiality.
