Wish we could aggregate that information to explain better what has been happening and what is happening now to the ideal of quality public education for all and how we are reacting or planning against the dark forces. <br /><br />In Chicago, two of caucuses within the Chicago Teachers Union and other folks have been asking for a forensic audit of the Chicago Public Schools. Through the reporter Ben Joravsky's work, we find that there are two sets of books. One that was posted online for public consumption that was incomplete and had errors. This came out during a private very controlled meeting, handled by City Hall veteran and now CPS writer of Tall Tales, Monique Bond. <br /><br />Karen Lewis will be pressing the issue still on opening the books. Huberman, a Daley city hall manager turned magically into a CEO of schools, has used the budget crisis to demand that teachers take a freeze on the raises. Where it stands, nothing is going to happen, what ever that is, until the books are open. Karen has offered to sit down with our CEO and go over the real books line by line, to see where we can possibly save money. I haven't heard if there was a response from Mr. Huberman. <br /><br />For more interesting reading on how Chicago Public Schools are run, visit the Chicago Reader<br />http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/ArticleArchives?author=847359Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04986133626654561239noreply@blogger.com
