From @chalkbeatCHI: How nine possible budget solutions could play out. chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025/0…
Investments in education matter! It’s time we invest add’l funds in our school districts to continue to make progress for generations of IL students. @HouseDemsIL @ILSenDems @ILSenateGOP @ilhousegop prioritize an increase for #EBF in FY26. #FundtheFormula
Love to see @PedroCPSCEO here at the @FundILFuture Rally in Springfield. Thanks for trying to get all our kids more equitable funding! @ChiPubSchools $500 m more!
Charter families here at the @FundILFuture Tally in Springfield. $500 m for EBF

A @NLCP_Lawndale student has turned a school bathroom into a pop-up salon, working between classes to help students feel their best. Check out her feature on @fox32news! fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-j…
Last week, INCS presented @staterepmoeller with the INCS Charter Champion award! Rep. Moeller has been an unwavering ally in our fight for school transportation equity, and we're grateful for her work supporting schools in her district and beyond.
Parents from @CMSA04 & @NLCP_Lawndale meet with their senator @SenLCollins
Happy parents from @CMSA04 meet with their state Rep @kevinfor16th

Registration is now open for the @charteralliance Conference, where the movement meets to get inspired and spark real change. This is the event you don’t want to miss! #NCSC25 publiccharters.org/conference/
Teacher vacancies are more prevalent in schools serving a majority of students of color. MTI helps increase the # of teachers in these schools by funding their preparation. @GovPritzker, please commit to maintaining MTI at $8M #InvestinMTI
.@GovPritzker, investing $550M in EBF in FY26 is the best way for the state to work to address systemic inequities in K-12 education. #FundtheFormula
Charter advocates are out in force at today's @ChiPubSchools meeting! Are you tuning in? youtube.com/watch?v=zMFLIo…
.@GovPritzker, please invest in #MTI at $8M. IL schools have an ongoing diversity gap: 54% of students are POC, but only 17% of teachers are. Diverse educators lead to better outcomes for ALL students, especially Black & Latinx youth. #ProtectMTI
At $350M/year, IL schools won’t reach full funding for at least another ten years. @GovPritzker: Increasing our EBF investment to $550M means getting there in half the time, benefiting hundreds of thousands more students. #FundtheFormula #EBF
.@GovPritzker, financial barriers should never stand in the way of aspiring educators. MTI prioritizes scholarships for students with the greatest need, helping them pursue teaching careers and reducing future financial burdens. #ProtectMTI
