The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) updates its Comprehensive Strategic Plan for Elementary and Secondary Education each year, as required by Public Act 93-1036 (the Education Reform and Accountability Act of 2004). This annual "Strategic Plan Progress Report" details actions the agency is taking to fulfill the Board's mission, vision, and goals. The 2019 Strategic Plan Progress Report largely addresses work initiated under the agency's previous administration, as the majority of the current Board and the current State Superintendent of Education assumed their roles in February 2019. ISBE's five key areas of focus are the strategies the agency is employing to make progress toward its goals: (1) Money: Establish an adequate and equitable education finance system; (2) Quality: Common definition of, and fair access to, quality education; (3) Autonomy: Maximize district autonomy to provide quality education to all families; (4) Competency: Encourage competency-based learning; and (5) Community: Districts and schools as centers of healthy communities.
