EDUCATION REFORM
School children across Illinois are living with bigger class sizes, old textbooks, crumbling buildings and cuts in core classes and extracurricular activities. That's because Illinois' method of funding education creates some of the worst inequities in the nation.
What Voices for Illinois Children is Doing
As a founder of the A+ Illinois campaign, Voices helps lead efforts to reform school funding and improve education quality.
What You Can Do
Contact your legislators and tell them it's time for a long-term, comprehensive solution that improves education quality and funding.
You can also make a donation to Voices for Illinois Children and sign up for news updates.
