| Governor Rod Blagojevich's State of the State Address
Early Learning
Asking the state board to vote to give every child in Illinois, including the children of undocumented immigrants, the right to go to preschool.
Teacher Certification
Making the teacher certification process easier, so instead of filling out up to a hundred pages of forms, teachers will only have to fill out two or three.
Accountability--Reporting
Streamline school report cards.
Health
Provide meals to more children.
Finance
Cut agency spending and use the savings to help schools consolidate.
Condition of Children
Make it easier for kids in foster care to attend school.
Charter Schools
Charters allow kids to go to a school in their own community.
Economic Development
We are creating a division within the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity whose sole purpose is to encourage companies that make homeland security products to either come to Illinois or expand in Illinois.I'm asking our universities to work with us to develop a curriculum that trains our students to work in the homeland security industry. The better our workforce understands their industry, the
more likely companies are to locate here.
