Kindergarten through High School Education Members

Educating the next generation is not only among the most important responsibilities, but is also at the top of our state's spending. Few issues generate as much discussion as how we should educate our youth, and run our schools. To advance our coverage we seek the insights and expertise of those who serve on our Education Advisory Council.

Advisory Council membership is by invitation only, based upon previous civic and societal accomplishments. We recognize them here for their service to the Illinois Channel and the state of Illinois.
