Dear Paul,
you of all people should know that parents have no voice in the priorities the Chicago Public School District and the Chicago Teachers Union.
The priorities are evident by the actions taken.

  1. pay the teachers more
  2. increase benefits
  3. do not close failing schools
  4. fund the pensions
  5. take accountability for failing schools performance
  6. promote environmental, social justice, defund the police, etc.
  7. eliminate police presence from schools to make them safer
  8. close down all charter schools because…
  9. ….

there are more but not one of them involves actually listening to the parents.
