Invest in Excellence

 

For three decades, the system for funding public schools in Illinois has made winners of some children and losers of others, all based on where those students live. IEA has taken an official position in favor of changing that system and is committed to executing a plan that will accomplish that goal. Learn more...

 

It is crucial that your local, your school board, your city council or influential community organizations go on record with the belief that Illinois has a school funding system that is broken and needs to be fixed. We have created a non-binding resolution that can be proposed for adoption by your local or organization’s leadership and/or membership.

 

Once you have signed the resolution, we have produced a press release to be sent to your local media.

 

For your convenience, a postcard has been created to send to your legislator promoting the need to change the Illinois school funding system. This post card has been laid out as 4 cards per 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper with a front and back. If possible, the postcard should be printed on hot pink cardstock.

 

We would also like a committment of your personal investment to the IIE campaign by filling out the IIE Pledge Card. It is important to include your email address so we can contact you to assist in the implementation of your specific pledge. This pledge card has been laid out as one card per 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. If possible, the pledge card should be printed on white cardstock.
