DEA\IEA Urges Illinois to: Invest in Excellence
For three decades, the system for funding public schools in Illinois has made winners of some children and losers of others, all based on where those students live. IEA has taken an official position in favor of changing that system and is committed to executing a plan that will accomplish that goal.
“What we have is an intolerable situation. IEA, as the state’s largest education employees’ organization, has an obligation to show leadership on this issue,” said IEA President Ken Swanson.
“This is about the future of our students and our profession. We can settle for nothing less than the complete reform of a system that hurts students, education employees and the economy of our state.”
