ISBE Web Site

The ISBE web site has a new look to it, designed to make it easier for the general public to navigate and get the information they need. If you have visited the ISBE web site in the past, as you browse it now you will notice that information has been organized in a new way. Rather than searching for data by division, you now can search by topic. Our Search Engine is new and improved. The ISBE Site Map is continually updated to help you find what you are looking for.

This web site redesign was driven by the desire to make it easier for parents, students and the general public to find items without knowing in which division specific material is posted. The reorganization will also make the site more accessible to people with disabilities.

If you experience difficulties with the new ISBE web site, please e-mail us and refer to ISBE Web in the subject line.
