We continue our special series “Four More Years”, examining how another four years of a Trump administration could affect Illinois — in a number of different policy areas. President-elect Trump and his allies have proposed many changes for education — from how money is distributed to pressing states on hot-button social issues.
A panel of education policy experts discuss what Trump's proposals and ideas for education reform mean and how they could impact Illinois schools.
