Per WSJ... The Union Routs Students in Chicago.
"Michelle Obama the other day complained that white people were leaving the city to escape minorities who are moving in. No, theyâ€re fleeing Chicagoâ€s high taxes and lousy schools—and so are minorities."
Teachers end their strike after the mayor caves on choice and accountability. Contract Details...
Points 4-11... all productivity killers. Chicago is currently insolvent, they just don't know it.Â
"Michelle Obama the other day complained that white people were leaving the city to escape minorities who are moving in. No, theyâ€re fleeing Chicagoâ€s high taxes and lousy schools—and so are minorities."
Teachers end their strike after the mayor caves on choice and accountability. Contract Details...
- 16% raise over five years (not including raises based on longevity)
- Three-year freeze on health insurance premiums
- Lower insurance copays
- Caps on class sizes
- More than 450 new social workers and nurses.
- New job protections for substitute teachers who going forward may only be removed after conferring with the union about “performance deficiencies.â€
- Chicago Public Schools will become a “sanctuary district,†meaning school officials wonâ€t be allowed to cooperate with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement without a court order.
- Employees will be allowed 10 unpaid days for personal immigration matters.
- Under the new contract, a joint union-school board committee will be convened to “mitigate or eliminate any disproportionate impacts of observations or student growth measures†on teacher evaluations.
- Instead of student performance, teachers will probably be rated on more subjective measures.
- The new union contract caps the number of charter-school seats, so no new schools will be able to open without others closing.
Points 4-11... all productivity killers. Chicago is currently insolvent, they just don't know it.Â
