Yesterday, Schmidt engaged with constituents in the 114th District, meeting with individuals and groups making an impact in their community. Among those he met were members of Community Development Sustainable Solutions, who discussed their parent mentor programs.
This initiative involves a paid parents program that places trained parents in classrooms to assist teachers and help them advance to certifications as "Prestige Professionals." This strategy aims to address teacher shortages and promote educational careers for parents.
Schmidt also met Miriah Boyd from Cahokia Heights High School. Boyd created the platform K.I.N.D (Keep Increasing Nice Deeds) to encourage kindness and support bullying victims. She is also recognized as Miss Illinois Juneteenth Title Queen.
On Monday, Schmidt hosted a Coffee Talk Event for open discussions with constituents about important issues affecting the 114th District. These conversations focused on improving communities within the district.
Schmidt expressed gratitude for those who participated, stating: "I appreciate everyone taking the time to meet with me! Your voice is heard and we will continue to work on finding solutions to state issues that impact families and businesses!"
