STAND FOR CHILDREN URGES CHICAGO SCHOOL BOARD TO CANCEL LAST MINUTE MEETING
Less than one month before ten democratically elected school board members are seated, the CPS Board of Education has decided to rush a monumental decision impacting the future of Chicago Public Schools. As parents and students are winding down to celebrate the holidays and spend time together, the Board has hastily called a special board meeting to remove CEO Martinez. This is yet another move in a series of unprecedented political acrobatics this administration has gone through in a quest to sideline the best interests of students and the stability of our schools.
We urge the board to cancel the Friday night meeting and save these big conversations for January when the new board is in place.
