Illinois Senate Passes Chicago Elected School Board Bill – WTTW (Chicago)

“A 20-member board ensures that every corner of the city has the ability to elect someone that they know, who has worked in their community, has been involved in (local school councils) and has been involved in PTAs and has been involved in community groups and neighborhood groups and their participation matters more than their money,” state Sen. Rob Martwick said during a committee hearing Tuesday.
