Nineteenth Century Club, 178 Forest Avenue, Oak Park
STATE REPRESENTATIVE, 78th DISTRICT
Camille Y. Lilly
Success! Civics Education in Our Schools
After years of effort, HB 2265 passed and Governor Pritzker signed it. Under legislation sponsored by State Rep. Camille Y. Lilly, students in junior high will soon be learning more about our government and their future roles as voters and taxpayers. As Rep. Lilly states, “Making sure our students are prepared to become tomorrow’s leaders is one of my highest priorities as an elected official. Students will be more prepared for their lives outside the classroom if they have a better understanding of how government works.”
