But, so far at least, little attention has been paid to a lower-profile but still important education bill. Supported by the Illinois Education Association and the Chicago Public Schools, it drew scant opposition.
That’s because most legislators want to be seen as supportive of efforts to enhance the K-12 experience of all children in the state’s 102 counties.
But some members of the Illinois State Board of Education, after reviewing the measure, are questioning the wisdom of some of its provisions.
