[ISLMA-Share] New proposed ed bills cut PE, Driver's Ed, and teacher pensions

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Brooke--

Great job getting the information to educators. As this is a state issue,
persons to contact are the state legislators and the governor. The US
Senators and Congressmen want to hear from us on federal issues.They should
hear about your concerns with Betsy DeVos becoming the new Secretary of
Education.

The link you suggested is available to anyone who wants to use it whether
they are an IEA member or not.
