ISBE’s Successful Legislative Initiatives

The Illinois State Board of Education entered the 2025 spring legislative session with an ambitious agenda. We are grateful that lawmakers gave bipartisan, near-unanimous support to nearly all the initiatives ISBE introduced this spring. I want to give a shoutout to our dedicated Legislative Affairs staff for working around the clock to answer questions, prepare testimony, and advocate for these critical measures addressing teacher pipeline issues, supporting school improvement, and ensuring a safe and equitable learning environment for our students.
