“The most environmentally friendly thing Chicago Public Schools could do is reorganize their extremely under-enrolled campuses, but instead, CTU wants to spend tax dollars on solar panels and other ‘green school initiatives,” said Mailee Smith, senior director of labor policy for the Illinois Policy Institute. “Consolidation would benefit both students and the environment, however, this would likely eliminate union positions, which CTU would never allow.”
Of course, any responsibly-managed organization would first close or consolidate any significantly-underutilized buildings before implementing a large-scale plan of installing solar panels.

I’m sure everyone agrees that if we have solar panels on the roof, the students will read better. And if the heat and air conditioning are powered by wind mills, their math scores will shoot up. We don’t need to spend any more money on education so long as we get environmental justice– if the kids can even spell those words by the time they graduate from high school.

Environmental justice. Justice for illegals. Justice for the overpaid activists seeking justice. Any education in that school system? Anywhere? Hellooo..

CTU and CPS need to focus on education and not political issues. Schools are failing students, and they don’t care. Fiscal responsibility might be nice too.

Clueless CTU and CPS. Completely out of touch. When in doubt spend…I am surprised though…this spend isn’t more salary, days off or pension increases. They must be slipping.
