PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LINK) Senator Bennett, for what purpose do you rise?
Point of personal privilege. 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 22nd Legislative Day 3/14/2017
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LINK) State your point.
Thank you, Mr. President. If I could have the Chamber's attention for just a brief moment, I want to recognize a group of young individuals from my district who, I believe, have very bright futures. In the Senate President's Gallery, I'd like to introduce the North Ridge Middle School basketball team, the Ridgerunners. If you'll stand up for me. The Ridgerunners are here with their Coach Ayron Worthington, the tall gentleman on the -- on the right side here, Assistant Coach Leonard Bryant, and their school Principal Eliza Brooks. This wonderful team was recently crowned the 2017 IESA State Champions for the 4A division in eighth grade. And because of these players' hard work, this team remained undefeated throughout the season with a 28 and 0 record. And players/coaches, correct me if I'm wrong, I think this is the first time that we've had a team from Danville win an eighth grade State championship, so we're very proud of that. And I must say, I want to thank you for your sportsmanship and hard work and I'm very honored to represent you. Please give a warm welcome to the North Ridge Middle School principal, coaches and players.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LINK) Senator Weaver, for what purpose do you rise?
A point of personal privilege, please, Mr. President.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LINK) State your point.
There's one thing everybody in this room agrees with and that's education. We may disagree on how to get there sometime, but we all believe in it. And I've been very fortunate to ask a group of people from my counties to serve on an advisory board for me, just to help me understand the dilemmas they face, what's going on with financing with them, and I've got 'em down here today. This is my Education Advisory Committee. First, I'd just like Jodi Scott to stand up, if you don't mind Jodi? And her daughters, too, to the right. A number of these folks are ROEs {sic}. I have a principal in the bunch, a board -- a school board member. But we had a great round table this morning, just with great insights for me and things, I'll share those. But if you folks would rise, and I'd like to ask the Senate to just thank them for their work in education. Thank you very much, Mr. President.
