Lawmakers debate education as Pritzker urges union to ‘fight’ Trump admin – Center Square

Although most Illinois public school students test below grade level in reading and math, Gov. JB Pritzker is touting his administration’s record spending on public education. “I don’t want you to think that I’m suggesting that we don’t have a whole lot more to do. We do, but let’s take a moment to sing the praises of what we’re accomplishing for our children in this state,” he said.
