We are welcoming two District 211 School Board Candidates, Kim Cavill and Michelle Barron to talk with us about their visions and policies. The School Board Elections are coming up in April-and we need to know what is at stake if our candidates do not win. Right wing candidates are pushing hard to fill school board seats across the nation and here too.

Act Now: Tell Governor Pritzker and your state Senator and Representative to end public money for private schools

“WHAT CAN WE DO?”

Action You Can Take Today

Action: Tell Governor Pritzker and your state Senator and Representative to end public money for private schools

  • Call Governor Pritzker: (217) 782-6830 Dial the number

Action: End Public Money for Private Schools

Contact your state legislators and Governor Pritzker, urging them to end the Tax Credit for Private School Scholarships “Invest in Kids program”. Invest in Kids is really a “back door” voucher program that funnels up to $75 million a year of taxpayer money to private and religious schools. Donors who give to Invest in Kids receive a hefty tax break and Illinois loses much-needed revenue.

Invest in Kids is set to “sunset” in 2023 but pro-privatization forces, such as the Illinois Policy Institute, the Betsy DeVos-funded Illinois lobbying group American Federation for Children, Awake Illinois, Moms for Liberty, and others) are pushing to make Invest in Kids permanent and expand its scope. Support for tax credit vouchers is part of a movement, both nationally and in Illinois, to undermine public education.
