Editorial: Pedro Martinez’s ascent to CPS boss was ‘historic.’ But here’s how he can make our schools better. – Chicago Tribune*

"Martinez is right to start his relationship with CTU with a fist bump rather than fisticuffs. But if CTU is true to form, he should brace for a teachers union that calibrates most of its moves with the overarching goal of amassing ever more political clout. That will become abundantly apparent as the district approaches its transformation into an entity overseen by an elected board."
