Article doesn’t say how many substitue teachers CPS employees?…as the mystery continues–why CPS can’t tell parents, students & taxpayers what CPS spends on substitues or what % of classroom days are covered by substitues all while CPS/CTU teachers will soon become highest paid teachers of any big city school dist nationally?

High pay for poor work and student outcomes No accountability. In the private sector a lot would be fired. Close under utilized schools and place the staff at other schools to teach students how to read.
