District 300 adopts resolution supporting Illinois Vision 2030
Summary
After a staff presentation, the Community Unit School District 300 Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt a resolution backing Illinois Vision 2030, a statewide policy framework focused on future-focused learning, shared accountability and predictable funding.
After a staff presentation and brief board discussion, the Community Unit School District 300 Board of Education adopted a resolution in support of Illinois Vision 2030 on April 22, 2025. The vote was 6-0.
District staff member Anthony McGinn presented Vision 2030 as a statewide, decade-long roadmap intended to reshape K–12 education across Illinois. McGinn said Vision 2030 emphasizes three pillars: future-focused learning, shared accountability and predictable funding, and described goals including stronger college- and career-readiness, expanded measures of student growth beyond standardized tests, and long-term, stable funding for schools. He noted that more than 500 Illinois districts have adopted the initiative and directed listeners to illinoisvision2030.com for details.
The board then considered a formal resolution articulating support for those pillars and urging the Illinois General Assembly to enact legislative changes to implement Vision 2030 recommendations. Board member LaMarca moved the resolution; a second was recorded. The roll-call vote recorded six ayes and no nays, and the resolution was adopted.
Board members who voted in favor were: McKinney, LaMarca, Burkett, Thomas, Scarpino and Fiorentino. The board’s action endorses the Vision 2030 policy priorities and signals local support for related state legislative changes.
The resolution text, as presented, lists the eight statewide associations that developed Vision 2030 and emphasizes collaboration among schools, families, businesses and communities as part of any comprehensive reforms. The board did not attach additional local policy changes; the action was a statement of support and a request for state legislative action.
