These IASA workshops will show the relationship between the EBM,
which is funding, and ESSA, which is accountability. We have finally
achieved a new, more equitable school funding system in Illinois
and now it is important for us to move the needle.

We will be scheduling the March
workshops in each of the 21
IASA Regions at sites and on
dates to be determined so we can
accommodate teams from school
districts to work collaboratively on
writing the EBM/ESSA plans.
These workshops will focus on
the elements required for the
EBM/ESSA plans as well as
a communications strategy to
take advantage of the exciting
opportunity we have to change the
narrative about public education in
the context of the EBM and ESSA.
