Happy air and water show weekend, Chicago!
And kindergarten teachers pay more in taxes, as a percentage of income, than billionaires do.
Educators receive discounted tickets to the showing of the Let the Little Light Shine Documentary at Chicago's Gene Siskel Film Center, Aug. 12-18. Just show your employee ID at the box office and pay the $7 student rate instead of $12.
Don’t miss @LightShineDoc, showing now through Aug. 18! The film chronicles the fight to save National Teachers Academy from closure by then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel. CTU Chief of Staff Jen Johnson joins a panel after the Aug. 16 showing, moderated by author, educator Dr. Eve L. Ewing.
Our beloved sister @BeatriceLumpkin is 104 today. 104. She's survived multiple pandemics, recessions, the civil rights movement and the Great Depression. There's never an excuse not to fight. If Bea can keep fighting at 104, anyone can. We love you, Bea! #BeLikeBea
Sign this petition and support these educators, who refused to be silent and ignore the harm to their students and their community that was posed by Mayor Lightfoot and General Iron. act.newmode.net/action/united-…
It’s an affront to racial and environmental justice, and an attack on educators’ and students’ rights that has sadly become the hallmark of the Lightfoot administration.
CTU NEWS: Mayor Lori Lightfoot is firing two activists and George Washington HS teachers for their participation in protests against General Iron’s proposed move to Southeast Side. Her handpicked Board of Ed votes tomorrow. It's a move straight out of the Ron DeSantis playbook.

When the district is mayoral controlled.
On Monday, i'll be masking up for our community and with our union.
Lincolnwood Dist 74 teachers gathered in solidarity this morning. The Lincolnwood Teachers’ Association states, “All voices must be heard and respected in order to come together as one learning community.” @iftaft
Because we have a memorandum of understanding with Chicago Public Schools, secured last month, Chicago Teachers Union educators with agreements with either charter school companies or the district will return to classrooms tomorrow with mask mandates still in place.
🖤
School is definitely the safest place for teachers and students to be if you manipulate data to make it seem that way.
🧵Today I’ll share the story of how @ChiPubSchools has been displaying different sets of COVID data to intentionally deceive parents & the public about COVID in schools. I’ll share evidence about how and (shockingly) WHEN they started fudging the numbers. Strap in. 1/
This is rich!!! @ChiPubSchools contact tracing contacted me today 1/21 about my child’s positive test on 12/7. I told them I had already done their job. “Better late than never”, does NOT apply to COVID.

@CTULocal1 Or, when you hear, “Miss Davis!”
One of the joys of the Bud Billiken Parade is walking down King Drive and out of nowhere hearing “HEY MISS WILLIAMS” from a parent or student in the crowd — some whom you haven’t seen in years. See, educators and schools aren’t just in the community; they *are* the community!
Chicago public school educators fought for, and won, safety protocols and an agreement that yesterday, the district reaffirmed publicly that it is committed to keeping in place. Honoring that agreement is how we ensure safety for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year.
From going door to door discussing treatment over trauma and advocating for subs, to highlighting issues with bus transporation for SPED families, our 2022 summer organizing interns learned key lessons around organizing for school level solidarity and the common good. 🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏿🙏🏻
So ISBE just posted state funding formula for this year and CPS moved from Tier 1 to Tier 2. This has major funding implications for Chicago Public Schools but I am still trying to figure out exactly how much new money CPS won't be getting.

These mayors aren't loyal.
“That’s on the mayor,” Truss said. “She said that she wanted to do politics a different way. She said she wanted to bring the light and transparency, and apparently, I guess she changed her mind.” chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/…
I spy @CTULocal1 Prez @SharkeyCTU1 on that panel!
“There’s this false idea that solidarity means everyone agrees. Solidarity is actually strongest when people don’t agree but can come together around a common goal and stand together.” Day 3 of @labornotes at “Democracy is Power: Leadership in a Democratic Rank-and-File Union”
Rage Against the Machine never specified what type of machine they were enraged with but I bet it was a Google Chromebook issued by CPS.
@West_Looper I think so... Members First actually got a smaller percent at 27% than they did in 2019 when it won 34%, though they were better financed and organized. REAL got 17%.
In a three way race, this is a pretty resounding victory
CORE was re-elected with 56% of the vote, followed by the Members First slate with 27% and the Respect Educate Advocate Lead slate with 17%.
In almost 17 years of being a practicing pediatrician, I have never seen this volume of sick kids in May. It feels like the middle of January. 🙁
