The voting will be part of a four-day statewide conference of school officials red jointly by IASB, the ois Association of School Administrators, and the Illinois Association of School Business Officials. The resolutions on upgrading teaching as a career are the result of a study conducted by the State Board of Education and an IASB committee.

Education plans approved The State Board of Education's FY 1984-86 State Plan for the Education of the Handicapped Act, Part B, and the Preschool Incentive Grant plan have been approved by the united States Department of Education. The state plan for the Education of the Handicapped Act, which must be routinely submitted and approved every three years, outlines the Illinois statutes, regulations, policies and procedures that are necessary for compliance with federal laws and regulations under Public Law 94-142. The Preschool Incentive Grant describes services in Illinois provided specifically for han­ dicapped students, aged 3 to 5 years old. Both plans, which were ap­ proved after an extensive development process, a public review period and public hearings, Mil be effective through 1986 when new plans will be devised and submitted. Copies of the plans are on file at state Board offices in Springfield, 100 North First Street, and in Chicago,, 188 West Randolph.
