ILGA's Black Caucus agenda's education pillar bill being heard in committee right now. 200+ pages in current version: ilga.gov/legislation/10…
@iftaft opposes expansion of the Invest in Kids (tax credit scholarship), has concerns about data privacy aspect of Article 20 which would create more data sharing across agencies, and KIDS testing, currently for kindergarteners, expanding to preschoolers
