DILT Funding Team Visits Capitol
The DILT Team's charge for this year is to influence
and improve funding decisions in the Illinois
General Assembly and keep area legislators aware
of the District's needs and give our feedback
about legislative bills.
Members of the DILT Funding Team attended the
92nd General Assembly open sessions of the Senate
and House of Representatives. The team also attended
a House Committee meeting on Elementary and Secondary
Education. The committee discussed House Joint
Resolution 76, regarding national testing and
the impact on ISAT and PSAE. The team also saw
rallies of the Illinois PTA for "Save our
Children" to support funding for early childhood
education and the Illinois Girl Scouts; took a
walking tour of capitol sculptures; and attended
a meeting of the Elementary District Organization
(EDO).
