Fixing Education Spending In Illinois Through Efficient Targeted Funding, Conor Desmond Jan 2014

Fixing Education Spending In Illinois Through Efficient Targeted Funding, Conor Desmond

Public Interest Law Reporter

Educational attainment has been tied to income levels, employment, health, and numerous other benefits.

Parental involvement in a child's education plays a crucial role in a child's success, and lack of genuine school choice stymies parental involvement and control.
