Unruly public behavior at school board meetings is among the key issues highlighted in newly released polling data from the fifth annual State of Education Report released Thursday by the Illinois Education Association.

“Fake news and disinformation are fueling fears, and that’s pitting school communities against one another, often over something that isn’t even true,” IEA President Kathi Griffin said.

School board members in Illinois serve without pay, Griffin said, and they did not sign up to be berated in an environment that they’re trying to improve.
