Our guiding principles:

• The similarities that unite communities throughout Illinois are greater than the differences that divide us. We believe our hopes and dreams for our children are common ground on which we can join forces to support one another, learn from one another and work together to ensure the best possible public education for all Illinois school students.
• We support improving the public education systems serving all Illinois students – particularly those forced to attend failing schools – in order to create a better educated workforce, a stronger statewide economy, a greater understanding and mutual respect among communities, and a more just world.
• We recognize that funding plays a significant role in the inequities among Illinois public school systems, and welcome the opportunity to explore, learn about and understand the pros and cons of various state funding models and their implications for students across the state in hopes that this process will result in high quality systems for all students.
