Students will learn about the Indigenous people who originally occupied the land and contemporary Native American community in the state. ▶️ https://t.co/RGJGw4GKZs

Amazing things happen when you invest #education. Bright future for Illinois.

[Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton @LtGovStratton]

Education changes the trajectory of not only a student’s life, but their families and communities. And that means our entire state is stronger.

@GovPritzker's proposed FY24 budget demonstrates our administration’s commitment to education from cradle to career.

@elonmusk Isn’t this a good thing for overall stabilization of the environment? Now we just need to learn to navigate the economy with shrinking needs and human capacity shortfalls in the workforce.

@Death_Bow We used lawn chairs in the living room, and futon for bed. One time I even made a coffee table from strap wood. We did what we had too.

Congrats @ILStateFair on breaking attendance record! The work of @ILAgriculture, State Fair Advisory Board, exhibitors, vendors, & supporters of Illinois agriculture are amazing. @GovPritzker is already directing more upgrades at fairgrounds for ‘23! https://t.co/uIQR6rmN9C
