The Marilyn Stewart administration has now been voted out of office, and the next job to be done is to kick out Chicago Public Schools' CEO Ron Huberman, and get some honest and accurate information about where school money is and how it's spent. Huberman has said that "we're going to have to raise class sizes, cut pensions," Kristine Mayle, CTU Financial Secretary elect, points out. "For the last 8 years the Board has made these projections in January and February and every year except for one, I believe, they were wrong. Last year they said that we have a $350,000,000 deficit and it ended up that we had an $80,000,000 surplus. On average over the last 8 years they've been $467,000,000 off." Scenes and interviews from the massive teachers union/school community protest in Chicago's Loop against the cuts on May 25. Also, the street press conference by union/community activists on April 28 at the State of Illinois building. "We're here today to deliver a letter to our Attorney General to ensure that CPS is in compliance with that Freedom of Information Act," says Jackson Potter, CTU trustee elect. "Oftentimes they ignore them, they don't provide the data that is required by state law. So we have to go into this building [State of Illinois] to get them to tell us the honest truth." 17 minutes.
