Alliance Leadership Summit Recap ALR 101-07

The Alliance Leadership Summit was held this past week; the impact that school leader advocacy had on the Capitol was significant and will continue to help shape the discussion on issues vital to schools going forward.  Also in this episode, two major issues impacted by the advocacy efforts of school leadership were the minimum teacher salary bill (HB 2078, Stuart D-Collinsville) and a weekly minute requirement for Physical Education (HB 2234, Harper D-Chicago). Both of these bills were scheduled for a committee hearing, but neither were called due in part to the strong resistance from local education leaders present in Springfield.  Hear Dr. Jacoby discuss these stories as well as the bill action from the previous week most relevant to school business officials.
