Poll hours -- 6 a.m. - 7 p.m.
For all candidates endorsed by the IFT for the General Election

The IFT had been working for over a year to urge the Illinois State Board of
Education (ISBE) to abandon their misguided proposal to increase state testing for grades 3-8 and expand testing to grades K-2; and thanks goes out to every member who sent emails, made phone calls, and even testified in Springfield to help the IFT and our education partners stop ISBE’s ill-conceived interim assessment plan.
