.@HouseDemsIL @ILSenDems @ILSenateGOP @ilhousegop as federal pandemic funds expire in FY25, a state investment of $550M in EBF will help districts sustain important investments for their students on the road to recovery. #FundtheFormula
The EBF formula is critical to closing equity gaps and providing the high-quality education all students deserve regardless of their zip code. @HouseDemsIL @ILSenDems @ILSenateGOP @ilhousegop, please prioritize an additional $550M for EBF. #FundtheFormula
We need to accelerate our pathway to adequate & equitable funding in IL. Increasing our appropriation of new funds beyond $350M in #EBF will allow for more students to benefit from attending fully funded schools @HouseDemsIL @ILSenDems #FundtheFormula
Parent-teacher conferences for CPS elementary and high schools are scheduled for April 10-11. 📅 bit.ly/45U4huM
Currently, over 1.3M students are in underfunded school districts. Students who are Black, Latinx, English Learners, or from low-income households are more likely to be in these districts. @HouseDemsIL @ILSenDems please prioritize $550M for #EBF.
As @ChiPubSchool unveils school budgets this week, read @halwoods' blog post on why it matters to Chicago families. Follow it up with @beckyvevea's analysis on CPS's revamped funding formula kidsfirstchicago.org/blog/chicago-s…

An annual increase of $350M was meant as a floor, not a ceiling. It’s critical to close the gap to adequate funding for K-12 schools, supporting districts and student learning impacted by the pandemic. @HouseDemsIL @ILSenDems #FundtheFormula
While EBF has been successful in distributing new state funds to the school districts with the most need, there’s still a long way to go. #FundtheFormula

Equity in education begins by ensuring all school districts have adequate resources for their students to thrive. @HouseDemsIL @ILSenDems @ILSenateGOP @ilhousegop, please prioritize an additional $550M for #EBF in FY25. #FundtheFormula

.@HouseDemsIL @ILSenDems, please invest beyond $350M. Disparities persist between low-income and affluent school districts, an increase in #EBF is critical to ensure resources are distributed equitably. #FundtheFormula

@KidsFirstChi @Ed4Excellence We agree. 0% of the school board is low income. Paying school board members would allow for a more representative board who might better understand families' struggles. A mom in our group may not run unless the position is paid. She can't afford it otherwise.
