What are People Saying about Vision 20/20?

Supporters of Vision 20/20 “This proposal, which suggests a rational, evidence-based approach to funding our schools fairly and adequately, has the potential to help overcome the political gridlock that has prevented meaningful reform to date.” Ralph Martire Executive Director for the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability

Supporters of Vision 20/20 “In my many years of involvement in the field of education, this kind of management-led collaboration and policy driven document is unprecedented in Illinois. There are 2 million children in our state whose voices and future need to be addressed. This is a positive start in the right direction.” Charlie Rose Former General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Education under Arne Duncan

“It’s exciting to see Illinois school leaders putting forward a broad education agenda, and there are many promising ideas in Vision 20/20. This report will definitely help shape policy conversations in the years ahead.” Elliot Regenstein Senior Vice President for Advocacy, Ounce of Prevention Fund Supporters of Vision 20/20
