Did you know that Chicago is the only school district in Illinois (of 891) without an elected school board? Enough is enough! Democracy Now!!
|
Do you want to help win an elected representative school board (ERSB) in Chicago? The purposes of this teach-in are: 1. Learn about the bill in the State Assembly-HB 4268; 2. Learn how to counter the arguments against an ERSB; 3. Learn how to work with your school community, elected officials, and groups/people in your neighborhood, to prepare yourself to help organize for the campaign and the bill.
We will leave with specific materials and concrete plans to organize, visit legislators, and spread the word so that we can win this major victory.
A registration form will shortly be on the TSJ website so you can sign up for the teach-in. We will ask you for your local school (elementary and high school) and state rep/senator on that form to help us better know what areas of Chicago (and the state) we can cover.
PS- Mark your calendars for rallies in Springfield as we take over the Capital rotunda with the Grassroots Education Movement (GEM) on Feb 10th and April 12th for the ERSB!
