Chicago Teachers Union | Events:

TOGETHER
Education Summit



Now that the Board of Education and Rahm Emanuel have gotten the Illinois Legislature to delay the announcement of school closings, we know we have a fight on our hands.We should expect that CPS will close up to 150 schools and announce them by March 31, 2013.
Join hundreds of parents, students and community members who want to help us FIGHT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND OUR SCHOOLS!
Let’s make it happen…
