A massive Illinois education reform bill is now law after Governor Pritzker signed the measure yesterday. Members of the Legislative Black Caucus were there to witness the signing of the Education and Workforce Equity Act. The law includes a phased plan for expanded graduation requirements, the expansion of the state’s Black history curriculum, and reforms to university equitability in scholarship matching programs. Caucus members and Pritzker say there is still work to do to improve education for all students.
