Talk of the Town - Parents, Schools & the Future of Education in District 45

  • Atkinson for Illinois PO Box 181 Freeport, IL United States (map)

From rising classroom challenges to declining performance and increasing safety concerns, parents across Northwest Illinois are feeling unheard and overlooked.
On Monday, December 15th, join Republican State Senate candidate Joshua T. Atkinson for a focused, 30-minute Zoom conversation on Parents, Schools & the Future of Education in District 45.

This is your opportunity to talk directly with Joshua about:

  • what’s happening in your child’s school,

  • the challenges teachers and staff are facing,

  • the changes you believe are necessary, and

  • what a stronger, safer, more effective education system should look like for our kids.

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, educator, or community member concerned about the direction of our schools — your voice matters, and Joshua wants to hear from you.

This is not a speech.
This is not a political lecture.
It’s a real conversation designed to give parents and families a seat at the table.

Why This Matters

More and more families feel like school boards, administrators, and elected officials are making decisions behind closed doors — with little to no input from the people actually raising and teaching our children.
Joshua is committed to changing that. He believes parents deserve a say, and that our schools should reflect the values, needs, and expectations of the communities they serve.
