Public comment now. There were 5 speaking spots available for this meeting. First speaker is CPS employee & CPS parent. Child attends an AUSL student & he is an AUSL employee. Deneen ES nurtures whole child. Says don't disrupt the process.
Next speaker is a mom at Urban Prep Englewood. Asks that CPS maintain a "budget line" for this school.
Just 1 more speaker: Son has IEP and he was not allowed to observe son's remote classroom. Asking why?

Looks like most CPS BOE & CPS Leadership are in the CPS boardroom. Pres Miguel del Valle reading a statement from the entire #cpsboard about what they are hearing about #CPSReopening- they are hearing all perspectives. "10 very long months..." Wants an agreement w/ CTU
del Valle continues: A strike would be devastating. Pandemic has caused fear. We need to find a path back to in person instruction for more students. Common confusion is board's involvement in plan. CPS + CDPH developed plan. BOE has helped strengthen plan & brought comm comments
I'm on a school's #RemoteLearning info meeting & a student asks "A web cam is expensive. My computer doesn't have one. How do I attend class w/ a camera?" @ChiPubSchools
Next question is about Study Hall- will you take attendance? Answer is yes. #RemoteLearning
In personal news... one of our computers has a non functioning mic & current headphones cause wobbly audio when my child speaks. We can get diff headphones but what about all those other kids who can't? (Yes, I am privileged to be able to have a computer for my child mic or no.)
