Good Morning!

I realize it's almost Thanksgiving break and you're all getting ready for well-deserved break, but I wanted to let you know what's happening next week. The ISBE recently announced that it is holding another ESSA listening tour.

You can find the dates and locations here: http://www.isbe.net/essa/pdf/ESSA-tour3-schedule-1116.pdf


You DID make a different this last time. Libraries are now mentioned in this recent draft. However, we still need to continue to speak to the ISBE to make sure this stays in as we move toward the final draft.

You can find Illinois' ESSA State Draft Plan #2 here: http://www.isbe.net/essa/pdf/ESSA-Illinois-State-Plan-draft-2.pdf


We once again ask you to volunteer your time to attend one of these meetings. We need you speak at the meeting AND/OR send your thoughts to essa at isbe.net. You can sign up for the listening tour at this link: http://bit.ly/2giYSc9  Signing up will allow the ESSA task force to email you the talking points and help you organize with other librarians attending the same meeting. We realize that the meeting locations are few and far between; if you are not able to attend a meeting, your voice is still important. You can email your stories to essa at isbe.net

Please also continue to check http://www.islma.org/ESSA.htm for updates.

We truly thank you in advance for being willing to spend your valuable time meeting with the ISBE representatives. Your voices and stories are important!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
