Sen. Cullerton: pass Elected School Board bill

The Elected School Board has overwhelming support. Nominally, you are a co-sponsor, although you refuse to bring the bill for a vote.

Pass the bill.

Why is this important?

With Betsy DeVos being confirmed as Secretary of Education, Chicago needs all tools to fight for out public schools. Mayor Rahm Emanuel's appointees do not have popular support of people of Chicago. Plus there's questions about their competence.
