PROPOSALS
Employee Training
- Increase support for the Employer Training Investment Program, to invest in the state's workforce to meet the changing needs of business.
P-20
- Begin at birth to provide the foundation that is needed to prepare our children for high school and success in college and careers.
Postsecondary Access
- Revamp the higher education system to increase access for all students.
Regional Superintendent Funding
- Eliminate state funding for the salaries and office costs for regional school superintendents.
Scholarship Programs
- Increase funding for the monetary assistance program, which provides scholarships for qualified needy students, with a particular focus on community college students.
- Abolish the legislative scholarship program. College scholarships--paid for by Illinois taxpayers--should only go to those that have true financial need for them.
School District Consolidation
- Propose the formation of a commission to review the number of school districts in the state. Illinois currently has 868 districts and our fiscal reality demands consolidation.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
P-20
- Appointed member of the first P-20 Council in Illinois.
