Educational Caucus

The new Educational Caucus has been called to Springfield for a rare meeting to set goals for the coming legislative session. This may be the year that we will see some movement from the state in terms of funding reform for public schools. The caucus will be meeting Wednesday and Thursday this week to hopefully set goals for the new session. There is a train of thought that says that this is the last chance to get the funding situation fixed so that the funding issue is off the table so not to interfere with a run for governor by Attorney General Lisa Madigan. With the leadership of Speaker Madigan there is a good chance that we will see some movement in this area of finance if he is indeed preparing the way for his daughter and a possible run for governor.
