Chicago Teachers Union report aims for alignment between district, mayor and union – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

CTU is calling on the city to “De-TIF Chicago.” Further, the union recommends that the school district bill Medicaid for social workers and mental health services for eligible students to increase mental health services in schools — an option that has always been available to them yet CTU says they haven’t utilized. Lastly, union leaders argue Chicago should implement progressive tax structures by closing corporate loopholes and ending tax breaks for corporations, to instead stream that revenue to fund education in the city.
