Educators know what kids need, and we've got clear ideas to get there. But right now, schools are being asked to do more with less while corporations are getting tax breaks.

Illinois’ public universities are being slowly starved—and students are paying the price. Years of chronic underfunding have led to program cuts, fewer faculty and staff, and rising tuition and fees at our public colleges and universities.

Just because school's out doesn't mean the learning ends. IFT is offering several opportunities for professional development, but registration is only open for a limited time!

Educators know that supporting English language learners takes time, skill, and resources. It means dedicated staff. It means collaboration. It means the ability to meet students where they are and help them grow.

Full funding for our schools means: ✅ Smaller class sizes ✅ Stocked libraries ✅ Student-centered spaces ✅ Investment in teachers and staff

If public education isn't fully resourced, we will still see the majority of our schools inadequately funded across the state - meaning that cuts or property taxes make up the difference.

What happens outside the classroom doesn’t stay outside the classroom.

Educators and public workers understand budgets because we live with their consequences. We see what happens when lawmakers prioritize megaproject tax breaks over education funding, and we know exactly what our students lose as a result.

For months, IFT members have been coming together and standing up to demand a state that puts working people over billionaire profits, that invests in our students, higher education, communities AND the people who work to support them.

Serving ✨ full funding energy ✨ for our students. Paraprofessionals know exactly what students need to learn, grow, and feel supported. The only thing missing? Lawmakers choosing full funding over corporate giveaways.

If you serve in the Cabinet, honesty to the American people is not optional. Lying is wrongdoing. Secretary Lutnick lied about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and today we will hold him accountable and demand answers.

The cost of living has risen 26% since 2020. And the cost of food, childcare and electricity has outpaced even that. Talking about the Affordability Crisis w/ @crampell.bsky.social on The Weekend Primetime @ms.now It could be a big political problem for the GOP #inflation #midterms #affordability

Electric school buses are a critical tool in our fight against climate change. But most districts weren’t ready to make the switch due to costs and logistics, so we’re delaying the requirement 5 years in the new state budget.

DUH?! 😑 Gov. Pritzker says Mayor Johnson has “no plan” to keep Bears in Chicago: “He has come up with no plan at all about how the Bears would end up in the city of Chicago. So, that's problematic. I'd love them to be in the city, but we are three years in now, and he still has no plan.”
