Last week, INCS had the pleasure of hosting our 2025 Charter Excellence Awards reception. With the support and partnership of our sponsors, we were able to bring our community together to honor exceptional individuals making a difference in schools.

Last month, the INCS team surprised our 2025 Charter Excellence Award winners! These teachers, principals, students, and advocates are shining examples of what makes our charter community so special. Congratulations, winners; we look forward to celebrating you next week!

Imagine having to take a day off work, get on a bus and drive 2 hours to beg the @ISBEnews State Board of Education to keep your school open. These @LEARNCharters families are committed but no one should have to fight so hard to keep a great school open.

Here at the @ISBEnews board meeting, parents are sharing stories of how @LEARNCharters have changed their families lives. They are literally begging @TonySandersSupt and the ISBE board to keep their children’s school open.

A @LEARNCharters North Chicago parent asking the @ISBEnews board members to keep hope and high expectations alive! @TonySandersSupt please recommend an approval of LEARN’s appeal.

A @LEARNCharters North Chicago parent lamenting the district’s treatment of her child’s charter school. She asks that leaders bring light to the North Chicago community. @ISBEnews, please approve LEARN’s appeal and keep it open!

An Ace Amandla student translates his mother’s comments at the @ISBEnews Board Meeting. She is asking ISBE to please renew their charter school.

Counselor from Ace Amandla Charter School asking the @ISBEnews Board & @TonySandersSupt to renew their school, a southside high school that serves 27% SPED students, 98% low income and 11% students in temporary living situations. The school has made a “life saving” difference
