Join Rep. Carol Sente as she updates us on school issues. Rep. Sente will talk about school consolidation and the progress of the committee established to research school consolidation. She will also talk about Senate Bill 7 which is a recent bill that will affect how school districts evaluate, transfer and layoff teachers. Another major issue is teacher pensions. When our school communities met with Rep. Sente last winter she promised to return to continue dialogs with the community.
Carol Sente writes:
"A quality education is the cornerstone of future success and I believe Illinois must do all it can to continue improving education while still addressing our budget challenges. In order to provide an opportunity for concerned parents and teachers to hear updates about education reform in Illinois, I am hosting an Education Forum on Tuesday, October 4, I strongly encourage parents and teachers to attend and learn about the changes taking place as Illinois implements recently enacted education reforms."
Please come and stay informed.
