Illinois Teachers Union Urges Governor Pritzker to Reject Federal Education Scholarship Program

Stacy Davis Gates, president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers and Chicago Teachers Union, has called on Governor JB Pritzker to reject a federal education scholarship program backed by President Donald Trump. Davis Gates argues that Illinois should instead focus on addressing its public school funding gap. This comes as the Republican gubernatorial nominee's running mate has advocated for Illinois to participate in the federal scholarship tax-credit program.
