Illinois State Senate District 58 issued the following announcement on June 23.
The following statement can be attributed to State Senator Paul Schimpf (R-Waterloo) following the release of rules and guidance for P-12 schools from ISBE and the Pritzker administration:
“The guidance issued by Governor Pritzker and the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) usurps the authority of local school boards and parents to determine how to best educate students and keep them safe. It is parents and local education experts, not unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, who should be in control of our children's education. The Governor and ISBE should have focused more on the looming legal issues associated with absenteeism and disease transmission, instead of micromanaging safety issues that are best left to local superintendents.”
