This weekend is the IEASP Spring Conference, Jump, Jive, and Teach! Along with amazing professional development and opportunities for community outreach, attendees will have another chance to let our lawmakers know that education needs to be a priority. More and more schools are being affected by the continued absence of a state budget and some are in dire circumstances. Come find the political action table at the Spring Conference to have your political voice be heard by our legislators!

Welcome to the Illinois Education Association Student Program Political Action Blog! This blog has been created and upheld by the Student State Board Political Activists to make educational politics more accessible to the local chapters of the IEA Student Program. Within the blog, chapters and members of IEASP can find information about the NEA and the IEA, Illinois representatives and their stance on educational issues, along with current events in educational politics.
