Welcome to the Education Issues Page!
The role of the Education Issues Director is to track both state and national issues related to children’s education, including the work of the Illinois State Board of Education and the Department of Education. The director provides information to the state board members and local units regarding these issues and assists in developing legislation policies for the Illinois PTA.
Through this website and the monthly newsletters the director will share updates as available. As director it is my goal to INFORM, AGITATE and ACTIVATE our membership around the pressing issues of the day. Through close collaboration with other committee chairs particularly the Legislative and Resolutions committees we will work to create a clear presence for PTA on issues affecting the education of children in Illinois.
