1/ Today, the Board of Education and the mayor announced a transition in which the current Board will step down. We thank this Board for centering equity, initiating the Black Student Success plan, and moving away from a punitive school rating system.
2/ Unfortunately, this news reflects the ongoing instability created by the district's CEO. While we finally have a mayor working to transform our schools, this CEO continues to say ‘no’ to progress.
3/ Resistance to progress in Chicago is nothing new. But our solidarity keeps us strong. We’ve seen the CEO focus more on his personal PR than delivering on the Board’s five-year plan for our schools. Instead of advocating for full funding and fair contracts, the CEO has worked to hide his plans for furloughs, layoffs, and cuts—plans that hurt our schools and our students.

Today, CTU presented a proposal to CPS to standardize termination terms across the district—giving all employees the same protections the CEO currently enjoys. Here’s what you need to know. ⬇️
1/ In recent months, the CPS CEO has faced criticism for incomplete budgeting, school closure plans, and over 1,200 educator vacancies—leading to overcrowded, under-resourced classrooms. Now, we’re seeing plans for mid-year layoffs and furloughs.  1/7
2/ While CPS remains unstable, the CEO negotiated generous termination terms for himself if he were let go ‘without cause.’ If these protections are good enough for him, they should be good enough for our educators too.  2/7

The path to CPS elementary gifted programs is broken and does not work for the majority of Black and Brown parents in Chicago.

These 7 pieces of data and evidence make it clear that the gifted admissions process needs to be repaired.

A thread 🧵
wbez.org/education/2024…
1. "Students admitted to a CPS elementary school with a gifted program are three times more likely to get into one of the 11 test-in high schools than students who go to neighborhood schools."
2. "Only 3% of CPS’ low-income elementary school students were enrolled in these gifted programs last school year. Some 3% of Latino students and 5% of Black elementary school students were in these classes."

The late great Karen Lewis was a former science teacher, who often talked about the importance of letting data & evidence guide our decision-making.

If she were alive today, she would say that these 7 pieces of data & evidence demonstrate the deeper story of selective-enrollment schools in Chicago.

A thread 🧵
wbez.org/education/2024…
1. "Only 1% of 8th graders from mostly low-income and Black elementary schools were offered a seat at one of Chicago’s top five selective enrollment schools over the last three years."
2. "Chicago Public Schools’ student body is 82% Black or Latino, but only 42% of the students at the top five performing selective enrollment schools are Black or Latino."

Of course.

The right-wing Bruce Rauner-funded think tank attacks student civic engagement. 🧵
The Student Power Forum is a nonpartisan voter education forum.

It will be hosted at the CTU Center with several non-partisan community organizations, including #ChicagoVotes, @LaCasaNorte, @GKMC18.
The event is similar to a Chicago Votes event happening at Hancock High School, student-led candidate forums held at Whitney Young in recent years, and several students-to-the-polls events Noble Charter School Networks is holding this month -- all nonpartisan. Image

As a union, we know our contract is critical to protecting members’ rights in their day to day work lives, particularly from principals who bully, harass, or target our members. 🧵
Today we received a call from a reporter letting us know that a principal at a CPS elementary school filed a police report against CTU President Stacy Davis Gates for allegedly telling members to “punch him in the face.”
We believe that this police report was filed in reference to a figurative comment made by President Davis Gates during impromptu remarks to union members at CTU’s union hall in January, while talking about using the contract to challenge principals who bully our members.
