[ISLMA-Share] ESSA update

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Many thanks to all ISLMA members who attended and spoke at the ISBE ESSA Listening Tour meetings between September 5 and October 6, 2016. We appreciate the time you've all given to show ISBE how important effective school library programs and licensed school librarians are for Illinois students. We have taken your feedback from the listening tour and the policy points we originally drafted and shared our recommendations with ISBE. Those recommendations will soon be posted on our ESSA page - http://www.islma.org/ESSA.htm They are also attached.
When we know what the next step is for ISBE, we'll definitely get the word out on how you may be able to help.
Again, thank you so much for everyone's input, feedback and support.
