IPPA PTA: SB 16 Info

[Project Arrow PTA]

Hi,

One of the areas of our group's focus is to inform you about current legislative activities that can impact Project Arrow families. 

With that in mind, we'll be spending time this year discussing a bill (SB 16) moving through the Illinois legislature. SB16 proposes changes to formula the State uses to distribute funds to districts. 

Here are two resources that present some good information about this bill:

1. A video clip of a presentation at a recent School Board meeting:

2: An article from the Aurora Beacon-News:

I hope to see you at the IPPA PTA meeting Tuesday (9/23) night: 7:00 at the Crouse Education Center at 780 Shoreline Dr., Aurora, IL 60504.

Kind regards,

Greg Smith

President - IPPA PTA
