[Genoa, IL] — The Genoa-Kingston School Board of Education voted at the last board meeting to adopt a resolution in support of Vision 2030, a blueprint to enhance public education to better serve students in an evolving world. Vision 2030 is a comprehensive effort developed by members of eight statewide education associations to create a framework of legislative goals and policy changes that would improve Illinois’ public education system. Vision 2030 provides a roadmap to enhance K-12 public education by prioritizing:
Future-Focused Learning: Reshaping our schools and classrooms and redefining student success to reflect and prepare students for all the different ways that the world and economy continue to change.
Shared Accountability: Thinking beyond annual standardized tests to more fairly and effectively measure student success by considering both growth and proficiency over time.
Predictable Funding: Providing excellent education resources and future-focused learning opportunities for student success through long-term, sustainable funding with additional investment to support updated instructional resources and technology, keep pace with economic pressures on salaries and equipment, and maintain aging infrastructure.
The eight statewide partner associations include: Illinois Association of School Administrators, Illinois Association of School Boards, Illinois Principals Association, Illinois Association of School Business Officials, Illinois Association of Regional Superintendents of Schools, Superintendents’ Commission for the Study of Demographics, Illinois Alliance of Administrators of Special Education and Illinois Association of Rural and Small Schools.
The Genoa-Kingston School District joins numerous other school systems across the state in supporting the Vision 2030 legislative initiative. For more information about Vision 2030 and its implementation visit IllinoisVision2030.com.
