State Rep. Jehan Gordon (D-Peoria) will be hosting state education leaders, Illinois State Superintendent Chris Koch and Illinois State Board of Education President Gery Chico at Manual Academy on Tuesday, October 18 at 12:00 p.m.

Koch and Chico are coming to tour Manual Academy, which has received a grant from the Illinois State Board of Education for Innovation and Improvement. They will tour the school to see improvements made through this grant.

“Manual Academy will benefit tremendously from the grants they are receiving from the Illinois State Board of Education,” said Gordon. “It is important for state officials to see how the grant money has been used to benefit our students at Manual Academy. I am glad that education leaders from the state and the Peoria community are taking advantage of the opportunity to discuss education issues and see firsthand the improvements at Manual.”
