Illinois Statewide 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
also:
- provides to the membership a Legislative Directory that details the elected officials of Illinois, provides information about state offices and agencies, and outlines effective ways to communicate with elected officials;
- electronically disseminates via email Alliance Legislative Reports to the member districts instantaneously informing members on the issues pending before the Illinois General Assembly or Governor;
- provides on the Homepage
- publishes, after the Spring Session, the Digest of Bills Passed which summarizes the bills sent to the Governor for signature; and
- publishes the New School Laws once the bills are signed into law.
