The Chicago Teachers Union confirmed that negotiations have started, for the first time this cycle, with CPS board members present. But in a cease-and-desist letter sent to the school board, Martinez's lawyers called for the board members' actions at the bargaining table to stop, saying their attempts, in part, "unlawfully infringe on and interfere with Mr. Martinez's authority, as CEO, to act as the sole representative of the Board in these negotiations."
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
