I\u2019m assuming you\u2019re busy wrapping things up \u2014 literally and figuratively \u2014 before a much-needed break for the holidays, but I want to take a moment to say thank you and recount how you stepped up this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education advocates took action to help to expand students\u2019 access to dual credit and career-technical education courses throughout Illinois. You supported our campaign to improve literacy instruction and outcomes for young people across the state. You backed our continued efforts to support new investment in the Evidence-Based Funding formula, which annually sends $1.5 billion more in state funding to classrooms than before it became law. You made a commitment to vote and stay engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
