Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

If so many teachers are receiving accommodations, the situation can’t be all that safe. Common sense says, put major effort into getting teachers vaccinated. When this has happened do half day shifts of students for social distancing and ALL teachers

On CNN stating it was the slow roll out of the vaccine for the CTU and children getting back to school. Well basement Joe seems to have lost quite a bit of those vaccines.

Seems she never wants to take responsibility for anything. When you become mayor you need to work to get things moving and not depend on others–OH but the Dems that is their Motto–blame others.
The middle class has abandoned the schools and is now abandoning Cook county and Illinois. Food deserts in poor neighborhoods, border crossings for major purchases, North Michigan Ave. under assault, record carjackings shootings and murders and we are worried about the Public Schools?
This is a great idea. Let’s get education advice from Al Sharpton. After the interpretive dance video by the two nit wit CTU members, I posted that there is no lower bar possible. But I was wrong. Getting advice on public school education from Tawanna Al is a new low. Like a tanking stock looking for the liquidation value, you just can’t count on any low number being the bottom for the Chicago Public Schools.
Sharpton will be playing the typical race card now. He is more of a racist than the head of the kkk. And Lori is scum.
If Sharpton is in town get ready for some sort of a shakedown
Lori- Get off the cameras and do some good for Chicago
