 Regulatory and Nonpublic School Policy Updates.
Bees can show us something about collaboration. On a warm day about half the bees in a hive stay inside beating their wings while the other half go out to gather pollen and nectar. Because of the beating wings, the temperature inside the hive is about 10 degrees cooler than outside. The bees rotate duties and the bees that cool the hive one day are honey gatherers the next. Though the individuals are small, behaving as a single organism and working toward a common goal means that great things can be achieved together. Like the bees, ICNS is structured to be a collaborative organization. We work with schools to achieve a goal - to be your voice in all matter of nonpublic education in Illinois. We can do more together than any individual school could do alone. Your continued interest and support in the upcoming school year is necessary as ICNS exists solely for the benefit of its member schools, The ICNS Board is hopeful that we will be able to not only retain schools, but to increase membership in 2019-20. Our dues are minimal, particularly when a school understands that without our collaborative efforts, nonpublic education would not have a voice with the legislators or ISBE. The revenue from dues allows ICNS to engage the services of two part-time lobbyists who provide services throughout the legislative session. An investment of $125 for one year and $200 for two years, can pay dividends with direct benefit for nonpublic education. The ICNS Board of Directors values and appreciates your continued support as we work together on your behalf for the benefit of nonpublic education in Illinois. Membership Renewal Form |
