ISBE's Weekly Message

IWAS to MyISBE LISTENING TOUR​

​I entered my first role with the Illinois State Board of Education in 2004 and after that spent over 15 years working in School District U-46. Throughout my extensive career in Illinois’ education system, I have witnessed incredible growth, and many modern practices and technologies would be unrecognizable to my 2004 self. However, one interface, the ISBE Web Application Security (IWAS), has remained constant throughout the past two decades. While this workhorse of a program has served us well, I think we can all agree that it’s time for an update! Please register via Eventbrite​ for an upcoming statewide listening tour to share your IWAS pain points, concerns, and ideas for improvement.​
