DSE and ISBE report no immediate budget impacts; advisory groups refer members to minutes
Summary
Designated State Entity Patrick Rhein and ISBE’s Michael Keeney reported no significant updates and said budgets and federal grant activities are proceeding as planned; advisory groups directed members to January minutes for details on ongoing work.
In the meeting’s agency report section, Patrick Rhein delivered the Designated State Entity report and said there were no significant updates while final budget details were still pending; he encouraged referrals to DSE for home services and vocational rehabilitation as needed. Michael Keeney of the Illinois State Board of Education reported operations and federal grant activity are continuing as usual with no identified changes.
Multiple advisory group chairs then referred members to their January meeting minutes: Advocacy (Jackson), Emergency Preparedness (Eric Brown), Employment (Rachael Mellen), Housing (Shelly Richardson and John Paschedag), and Transportation (Riley Anderson). These were informational referrals rather than substantive presentations at the Feb. 4 meeting.
