School Management Alliance

In the Spring of 1993, the executive directors of the four statewide educational management associations - Illinois Association of School Administrators, Illinois Association of School Boards, Illinois Association of School Business Officials and Illinois Principals Association - solidified discussions concerning joint legislative efforts and formed the Illinois Statewide School Management Alliance. The Alliance structure allows the four associations to not only pool their resources and personnel, but to pool their respective expertise to present strong unified positions on education issues before the Illinois General Assembly and Governor. Through the Alliance, the associations testify at committee hearings, support education initiatives and present positions to the General Assembly.

The Alliance has a long history of developing and implementing programs that assist schools with effectively serving their students as cost effectively as possible.

Alliance Legislative Reports
The Alliance Legislative Reports are published as needed during sessions of the General Assembly. The Reports are electronically transmitted to member school districts and not only report legislative actions taken and initiatives pending, but also provide a timely means by which districts can be alerted to urgent matters facing the legislature.
