SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Adriane Johnson advocated for a package of legislation designed to foster healthier learning environments, enhance access to mental health care, and expand educational and job opportunities for some of Illinois’ most vulnerable populations during a subject matter hearing Tuesday.
“Whether it’s supporting a student’s mental health, improving the air they breathe in classrooms, or helping young adults get on the path to a good-paying job, we must continue to invest in the people and systems that shape our communities,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “These bills are about access, equity, and building a better Illinois for all.”
SPRINGFIELD — To ensure all students receive equitable access to school counseling and support services, State Senator Adriane Johnson championed a measure to clarify that school counselors are permitted to serve all students, regardless of their immigration or citizenship status.
“Every student deserves access to trusted adults and supportive services in their school,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove).
SPRINGFIELD — In a continued push to build a fairer and more rehabilitative justice system, State Senator Adriane Johnson is championing legislation to make it easier for young people convicted of serious crimes to have their sentences reviewed under evolving constitutional standards.
“Young people deserve a system that recognizes their capacity for change,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove).
SPRINGFIELD — Future educators may soon see new opportunities for fair compensation thanks to State Senator Adriane Johnson. House Bill 3528, which recently passed the House, would change the Illinois School Code to ensure that institutions of higher education cannot require student teachers to work without pay.
“Student teachers are doing real work in real classrooms, and they deserve the chance to be compensated,” said Johnson (D- Buffalo Grove).
