The Illinois State Board of Education Professional Review Panel is sending findings to state legislators that include increasing the additional amount of school funding each year, among others.
One finding is to change Essential Elements in education to promote racial equity and eliminate structural racism within schools.
Ralph Martire, executive director of the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, is a voting member of the committee and urged for the finding’s passage. I think these are real valuable elements for us to explore as a panel and create some findings going forward, Martire said during Monday’s meeting.
