IAASE is excited to announce that our President, Dr. Kevin Rubenstein, has been named to Governor-elect JB Pritzker's
Education for Success transition team. Pritzker named 35 people today
to the team, and we are pleased to be represented, along with several
others from the public education community.
The committee is the seventh of several working groups of the transition made up of subject-matter experts who will advise the incoming Pritzker-Stratton administration. It will be chaired by State Sen. Andy Manar, a school funding reform champion; State Rep. Emanuel Chris Welch, chairman of the House Higher Education Committee; Chicago Public Schools CEO Dr. Janice Jackson, and Illinois Education Association President Kathi Griffin.
IAASE has sought to position itself as the voice, vision and future of special education in Illinois. This transition team will help to craft educational policy for the Pritzker administration and it is significant that we are included in its work.
This is an important day for our professional organization! Congratulations to Kevin Rubenstein and the IAASE leadership for their work in making it possible.
