@chicagosmayor The budget narrative says they are increasing nurses by 30. The FY20 budget report shows they have budgeted for 127 certified School Nurse positions (and 91 Health Service and 124 Hospital Licensed practitioner Nurse positions).
@chicagosmayor The position file from last year showed 127 school nurses (93 health service and 127 HLPN positions) – so where is the increase? In fact – the FY19 budget shows they originally budgeted for 145 school nurses – so the budget they produced shows a DECREASE.
There is ONE way and one way only to force any mayor -- including this mayor -- to keep their promises to public school students, parents and educators: enshrine those promises in an enforceable labor contract with the CTU.
Everything else is just talk, ruling by press conference and fake promises instead of real action -- and sometimes, a tissue of lies.
