CTU’s proposal includes retrofitting buildings to fix aging infrastructure, adding central air conditioning, removing lead pipes, and installing solar or heat pumps to mitigate pollution in South and West side schools located near industrial corridors. Long-term goals include funding technical education programs to prepare students for jobs in the renewable energy sector. The union is also asking for healthier and more “culturally relevant” lunches in 25 schools.
Per CTU’s own website, only 1,800 tuned in for livestream and another 150 in direct attendance of HISTORIC public bargaining session?:
“More than 1,800 people tuned into the CTU-CPS public bargaining session on “Healthy, Safe, Green Schools” Friday night via the livestream, and nearly 150 people attended in person at Marquette School of Excellence for the first of up to six public bargaining sessions during contract negotiations.”
Chicago kids deserve better schools. Nice to see Chicago teachers union fighting for basic things like air conditioning and heat. Kids shouldn’t have to suffer just because they’re poor. Repukes don’t care. Dems are fighting for the kids. Vote Blue No Matter Who!!!!
Wait, are we back to trying to sell the “it’s for the children!” thing? Because we have been reliably informed that the union’s job is to maximize benefits for its members. And that they are excellent at performing this function.
Repukes, as so eloquently named, know full well that money the CTU goes to its members first and the rest is an afterthought, hence the dismal results of spending 25-30K/student that can neither do math or read at their grade level. Remember “ Pensions Paid First!”.
Wee doggies, where are those taxpayers gonna get all that money?
The city is broke according to Zippy

A portion of all that Covid (ESSER) money was supposed to address aging school mechanical systems. Perhaps we should assess how much got done and how much we spent before setting pie-in-the-sky goals.
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.
