He said it was unacceptable that classes, sporting events and things have been canceled over the past school year. “I served as a school board member for 17 years, I’m a father of four and I know the importance of the education and the future of this great state and great country,” Bailey said. “Our kids need to be in school. “Gov. Pritzker and the political elites, they failed us, they failed our schools, they failed our students, they failed our future,” he said.)
