The Shriver Center undertook research to develop the Ensuring Success in School Act (ESSA), presents the significant provisions of the legislation, and describes its ongoing ESSA campaign in Illinois.”

Journal Preview for March–April 2006: Clearinghouse Review: Journal of Poverty Law and Policy

Featuring: “The Path to Universal Health Coverage for Children in Illinois,” By John Bouman

“As other states and Congress consider whether to pursue the All Kids strategy for health coverage to all children amidst persistent state and national fiscal troubles, the path to All Kids in Illinois may be a useful case study. The path to All Kids in Illinois demonstrates, however, that the development of the policy environment and the assertion of political leadership on health coverage are not artifacts of circumstances unique to Illinois but are possible in other states and on the national level.”
