“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of MLK. He fought and died for freedom, equality and justice. Let’s live his legacy in places where inequities dwell.

ISBE has delayed the opening of the 2021 spring assessment window to March 15, in response to requests from school districts and stakeholders. ISBE’s action today ensures no student will take a federally required assessment, including ACCESS, until March 15 at the earliest.
