School Tech Connect: A Festival of Forums

School Tech Connect: A Festival of Forums:


A Festival of Forums

Wow--- tons of public forums coming up to talk about the current state of CPS/CTU negotiations and other matters.

I stole this list from Raise Your Hand For Public Education, which you could join here.  It appears to me that none of these forums is sponsored by the school district, although some district people will be at least one of them. I'm going to try to make Hyde Park tonight.


8/8 - Hyde Park Forum with Julie Woestehoff of PURE and teachers and parents from Hyde Park. “Parents and Teachers Face to Face”
6:30p-8p – United Church of Hyde Park – 1448 E. 53rd Street 
8/21 - Senn HS: Auditorium- 6:30pm
