Senate Bill 7 Moves to the House

We have come far but our work is not over! Please contact your legislator and share with others!

Thank you for your continued support to improving education for Illinois youth!

All the best,

Dear Supporter of Performance Counts, Throughout Illinois, education leaders, teachers, parents, community groups and the media continue to celebrate the unanimous passage of Senate Bill 7 in the Illinois Senate, a comprehensive education improvement package supported by education advocacy groups, such as Stand for Children and Advance Illinois, teachers’ unions and school management groups. Yet, a lot of work still remains to ensure legislation that puts students at the center of the educational-decision making process in fact becomes law in Illinois. We are not done yet! On Monday, Senate Bill 7 was assigned to the Elementary and Secondary Education Committee in the Illinois House of Representatives. As members of the committee review Senate Bill 7, we need your help. If you want to see positive change in Illinois schools, please take a minute to tell your State Representative to support SB7. What is happening in Illinois right now is historic, and the country is taking note of what can be accomplished when adults come together, truly listen to each other’s perspectives, and craft legislation that is in the best interest of students and outstanding teachers who’ve committed their lives to help students excel. Together we will see this campaign through to the finish because now is the time to make sure every child has the reality of an excellent educator. Thank you for taking action. Sincerely, Jonah Edelman Founder & CEO
