Stand for Children Illinois\u00a0Executive Director Mimi Rodman\u00a0issued the following statement, today, immediately after Gov. Bruce Rauner\u2019s State of the State address, which highlighted his 10 goals to improve education in Illinois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve yet to see such compromises in Springfield, so we\u2019ll remain vigilant and vocal about fighting for a better public education system. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We urge the leaders of this state to work toward a bipartisan agreement that provides fair funding to all Illinois schools and ensures every child–whether they live in an urban, rural, poor, or wealthy community–receives a high-quality education.
