IL Gov. Pritzker has enacted a new agency, the Illinois Division of Early Childhood (IDEC). The goal of the new agency is to streamline access to services for families, reduce duplication, and to eliminate barriers for families and service providers. The IDEC is slated to be fully operational in FY27, but is currently in the discovery and development phase. As part of that process, the Governor has selected a team of people to serve as part of the Transition Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC team has asked the Regional Offices of Education and the Birth to Five groups who have the same service area to collaborate and hold listening sessions in our service area to assure that we are gathering the voices and true needs and experiences of all families. Please see the flier containing a QR code that individuals interested in joining one of the two virtual sessions can use to register.
The agenda for the Monday, September 16, 2024, budget hearing and regular board meeting can be found on our Board of Education page and here: https://5il.co/2wpbn
