CPS is broke on purpose and they want to make teachers pay while bankers and politically connected vendors get rich. On Tuesday, July 1 the mayor announced that CPS would offset the cost of repaying its “pension holiday” loans by laying off 1,400 people. There are better options available than cutting services for kids. We need to picket City Hall and let the mayor and his handpicked Board of Education know that we demand they cut excessive testing, cut wasteful vendor contracts, and renegotiate toxic swap loans to balance their budget. Let the mayor know that Chicagoans want progressive revenue options that force the wealthy to pay their fair share for the schools and services that make this city work.
