Summary and audio linked here.
Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

CPS should create a new type of magnet school for students that only speak a given foreign language. then do a total immersion into English language literacy.

Here’s a few names
Ghidorah
Cerberos
Hydra
Don’t have their last names. Sorry
The main name left out of the article when referring to teachers union bosses is Beelzebub. You have to be not just rotten to do what these teacher union bosses do to kids, but evil.
They should take it out of their pension fund to assist financially. Better yet, they should solicit the million dollar retired pensioners here in Illinois to donate to this cause.
But you can be sure CTU is not for using all the mountains of empty or fractionally used CPS school space to shelter “new arrival” migrants.
Maybe that’s where all the missing tech went? To help the migrants… Clown world.
