THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Brothers and Sisters:
Thank you for all the hard work you did this year to ensure a quality education for all of Chicago’s children. I know this has probably been the toughest year of your career. From those of you who
remember the bitter 19-day strike in 1987, to those whose first few
days on the job were filled with planning, anticipation and the hard
work of a highly visible strike, going back to buildings where many
administrators ramped up the hostility towards our profession was
difficult, yet strangely exhilarating. The unity demonstrated was
palpable, and the support from parents, the community and even
some media outlets, surprising.
Unfortunately, some administrators started violating the contract
as soon as the ink was dry in October. But make no mistake—contract enforcement begins at each site. For example, some principals
are demanding the staff vote on a schedule for the next year, but if you feel rushed, uninformed or not particularly interested, vote for the default schedule. It is imperative that you receive the duty-free lunches and preps
to which you are entitled. You must keep track of these. If you decided to work through lunch, that’s a choice
and you’ve donated your time. But if your principal insists that you work through your lunch, that’s a contract
violation.
This summer, the Chicago Teachers Union will hold contract enforcement workshops throughout the city. These
are open to all members, and not just delegates, because knowledge is not only power, it will ameliorate the
difficulties of many of the top-down mandates you may experience. We also will be engaged in massive voter
registration and education organization work. We will offer professional development courses that provide lane
placement credits. However you find the time to get involved with your Union, there is a place where you can
find your niche. I highly recommend that you take advantage of some of the options offered to you. We are here
for you.
A few weeks ago, I had a discussion with a woman who is retiring from the Detroit Public Schools this month.
In their district, pensions are calculated on the top three earning years within the last 10. She pointed out that
before the last two contracts her top salary had been a little more than $80,000. Now, due to givebacks and other
concessions, she earns $65,000.
Due to pay freezes linked to merit pay, furlough days, massive layoffs with concomitant increases in class size
and a $10,000 giveback to the district, contracts like these are in place all over the country. This is the wave of a
dystopian future, one that you fought on the streets last fall to avoid, and one that we continue to fight against
today. I am extremely proud and humble to serve as your president. Have an eventful and fulfilling summer!
In Solidarity,
Karen GJ Lewis, NBCT

The Mercenary Betrayal of African-American Children
Through Racist Corporate School “Reform”
to the
Support from New Orleans
CTU service saved my career
I am a New Orleans resident very much
moved by the news of your local school
closings.
I am simply writing this letter as a thank
you to the union for its tremendous help. I
must make a confession first. I was one of the
teachers who looked at the dues that are paid
out of every paycheck and cringed. I could
not believe I was paying over $1,000 a year in
dues. After these last few weeks, I will never
doubt the dues again! Without going into too
much information, I found myself needing
legal representation for a situation that occurred two weeks ago. I secured an attorney
who would have charged me an arm and a
leg to represent me, but out of necessity, I had
to have him. It wasn’t until I spoke to [field
representative] Joey McDermott about the
situation that I realized that since the situation occurred at my job during work hours,
the Union could provide me with an attorney.
Jennifer Poltrock contacted me almost immediately and told me everything would be okay.
She instantly made me feel 100 percent better.
When I questioned her about her compensation, she told me that as a union member, I
would not have to pay any additional funds.
Making a long story short, she was there
to represent me when I had to go to court.
About five short minutes later, we walked out
of court and she told me the situation was
done! I cannot begin to tell you how relieved
I was. As I was thanking her, she made sure
to tell me to write Karen Lewis and the entire Chicago Teachers Union for providing
this service for its members. This is a service
I pray I will never need to use again, but I
am sure thankful that it was available to me.
Thank you CTU for thinking of everything,
even things that most people would never
think they would need. Not only did this service possibly salvage my current job, my entire career may have been saved. Thank you,
thank you, thank you again.
I want to help in any way to stop this decision from continuing. If there are any local
protests or petitions which need support, I
NEED to help. Please let me know what I can
do to support this cause.

Solidarity from New York
Thank you for your fight for educational justice and teacher respect/professionalism. I
along with the many teachers in NYC stand
in solidarity with you and the teachers of
Chicago. Stay strong and do let us know how
we can help the cause.

African American and Latino
Communities Must Join Forces
Thank you for continuing to fight for our
children! We received our “eviction” notice in
March 2013 and have little time to plan the
next step for our children. Karen Lewis you
are my role model! I cannot thank the CTU
enough for being the voice of us minorities who cannot be heard. It is time that the
African-American community joins forces
with the Latino community to win the battle
on education. Our teachers and parents did
not fail our children—the system did. Rahm
Emanuel has lost my vote.

L
ike Chicago Public Schools CEO
Barbara Byrd-Bennett, I am a woman
of color. However, unlike Byrd-Bennett,
who began her recent association with
CPS on the heels of the execution of mass
school closings in two other major cities, I began a lifelong association with the CPS upon
entering kindergarten in 1956. I find her denial of the racist nature of Chicago’s school
closings to be disingenuous and dangerous to
the well-being of African-American students
who deserve excellence and equity from the
education that CPS delivers.
With more than a half-century of a direct
connection with CPS as a student and educator, I find this current time of “reform”
to be the most brutal, deceptive and racist era of all. Even my experiences attending classes in racist “Willis” wagons and in
four-hour shifts in overcrowded schools in
the 1960s pale in comparison to experiences
that African-American students today must
confront, such as the diversion of resources
followed by the luring of student populations from neighborhood schools to charter
schools; the denial of instructional time due
to excessive testing practices; the decimation
of African-American teachers; the widening
of the achievement gap during the past two
decades of failed CPS “reforms;” and the lifethreatening destabilization of communities
due to school closures.
who allowed themselves to be used in the
execution of oppressive acts against disenfranchised African-Americans. As one whose
39-year career was dedicated to serving the
children of Chicago, I am outraged whenever I detect this deplorable ritual being practiced by anyone, but especially by those who,
like mercenaries, are “just passing through”
on their career ladders. It is time to end the
modern day Tuskegee experiments that have
been imposed by mayoral control and CPS
policies.
Bonita Robinson, a recently retired reading
specialist, was awarded the Illinois Governor’s
Master Teacher Award while teaching at Duke
Ellington Elementary School in Austin.
To continue closing schools while cognizant
of the havoc that such “reforms” have already
wreaked on African-American children in
terms of academics and safety is not only racist, but is the embodiment of the most insidious type of racism that Carter G. Woodson
warned about in his classic, “The MisEducation of the Negro.” In the words of Dr.
Woodson, Ms. Byrd-Bennett and this Board
must cease trying to “justify the oppression
of the race.”
Dr. Woodson expressed profound disappointment in African-American professionals

Why We fight “Right-to-Work”
By Diana Rosen
I
n 2012, Republicans in Indiana and
Michigan pushed through right-to-work
legislation, joining 22 other states with existing right-to-work laws. Similar proposals have been made this year in Pennsylvania
and Ohio.
What’s In a Name?
CPS Closings Whitewash History
By Craig Cleve
M
ary McLeod Bethune lived long ago
and spent most her life far from
Chicago. She was born in the Jim
Crow South in 1875—the fifteenth
child of former slaves—but she overcame her
poverty and geographic disadvantages to become a leading figure in education, women’s
rights and the early Civil Rights Movement.
In the first decade of the 20th century,
Bethune founded a college for poor, AfricanAmerican women in Daytona, Florida,
which she presided over for four decades.
She was an outspoken voice against lynching
and founded the National Council of Negro
Women in the 1930s. She even became
a frequent advisor to President Franklin
Roosevelt, and was successful at getting
African-American young people to be
included in the New Deal’s National Youth
Administration.
Bethune was an institution in the early days
of the Civil Rights movement. Now, an
institution that bears her name is in danger
of suffering one final act of humiliation.
Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary School,
located at 3030 W. Arthington St., is one of
50 schools scheduled to be closed or turned
around at the end of the current school year.
Located in an all-black community between Douglas Park and the Eisenhower
Expressway, Bethune stands as testimony
to the troubling fact that 80 percent of all
schools slated for closure are located in
African-American neighborhoods serving
among the poorest of Chicago’s poor.
It is ironic that a school named for a strong,
African-American woman who advocated
for education among her people will be
shuttered under circumstances that for many
Chicagoans stir memories of the Jim Crowism and de facto segregation of a previous
generation.
But Bethune is not alone. The list of Chicago
public schools scheduled to close on the
South and West sides reads like a classroom
word wall during Black History Month:
• Louis Armstrong was one of the most innovative contributors to American jazz
music.
• Crispus Attucks was killed during the
Boston Massacre.
• Benjamin Banneker and Garret A. Morgan
were inventors.
• Jesse Owens was a four-time Olympic gold
medalist.
• Arna Wendell Bontemps was a Harlem
Rennaissance poet.
• Matthew Henson was a polar explorer.
8 | CHICAGO UNION TEACHER | JUNE 2013
• Mahalia Jackson was the queen of gospel
music.
• Robert Henry Lawrence was the first black
astronaut.
All are African-American role models for
whom Chicago public schools were named,
and all of these schools are currently slated
to close at the end of the current school year.
It begs the question: Where do AfricanAmerican children go for inspiration when
the institutions bearing the names of such
eminent individuals are eradicated? When
these schools opened, they were touchstones
of possibility and promise. Like churches,
schools are omnipresent symbols of safety
and hope. Many have fallen into disrepair—
the result of a decade’s worth of financial
neglect on the part of CPS. And when they
go—if they go—they may take the heart of
their communities with them.
CPS argues that the list of closings is completely unbiased. After all, they are also
closing Betsy Ross Elementary and Francis
Scott Key Elementary. In CPS’s version of
America, symbols are window dressing.
Money talks.

Right-to-work legislation prohibits employers and unions from entering agreements
requiring union membership and dues payments from employees. In other words, it
gives employees the ability to opt out of being in a union. Proponents of the legislation
argue that it provides more freedom in the
workplace, giving employees the choice of
whether or not to join a union. In the Chicago
Teachers Union, all teachers, paraprofessionals and school-related personnel automatically either pay an agency fee
or join the union and pay dues. Rightto-work would give employees the
option to remove themselves from
the union and no longer pay anything
while still benefiting from the collective bargaining agreement at the expense of those still paying their dues.
by a decrease in union power, as the union
will lack the resources to function effectively.
The manipulative slogan “right-to-work” was
first used by the notoriously racist Christian
American Association in Houston in the
1940s. Texas labor unions had made tremendous gains in the previous decade—increasing their membership by more than
225 percent—and posed a political threat
to the conservative South. Unions actively
opposed Jim Crow laws, made demands to
end segregation and supported New Deal
reforms. Under the leadership of wealthy oil
lobbyist Vance Muse, the Christian American
Association introduced right-to-work legislation in Texas in 1945. A combination of racist
T
he blatant attack on the working class is
relentless. Pennsylvania state representative Daryl Metcalfe has made right-to-work
proposals at every legislative session for the
last 14 years. Right-to-work advocacy groups
like Americans for Prosperity (a Koch brothers group) have seemingly endless amounts
of financing and manipulative rhetoric to fall
back on.
A 1961 quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.
was circulated by opponents of the right-towork laws passed in Michigan last year:
In our glorious fight for civil rights, we
must guard against being fooled by false
slogans, such as ‘right-to-work.’ It is a law
to rob us of our civil rights and job
rights. Its purpose is to destroy labor
unions and the freedom of collective
bargaining by which unions have
improved wages and working conditions of everyone.
Although Dr. King so eloquently described the dangers of right-to-work
more than 50 years ago, only 26 states
remain free of right-to-work laws today. It is vital that the fight to keep
these states this way is carried out to
the fullest, and that work is done to reverse the damage already inflicted in
states with right-to-work legislation.
The phrase “right-to-work” is also a
complete misnomer. The real purpose
of these laws is to weaken unions via a
direct attack on their finances—not to
create more employee rights.
A simple comparison that illustrates
the illogical nature of right-to-work
laws is our tax system in the United
States. Citizens cannot choose to not
pay taxes while still enjoying the same
benefits as their neighboring taxpayers. If this were the case, people
would have the option of piggybacking on
the tax payments of others. Additionally, with
fewer taxes collected, the government would
struggle to provide the same public services
to all of its citizens.
Right-to-work functions in a similar fashion.
Under right-to-work, employees can still enjoy the benefits of collective bargaining without paying union dues by relying on the payments of their fellow employees. A decrease
in dues payments is inevitably accompanied
rhetoric and industry financing allowed the
legislation to pass, and other Southern states
quickly followed suit.
Initially devised as an attack on AfricanAmericans in the Deep South, right-to-work
has expanded to the north and west, harming
working people everywhere. Even Michigan,
the home of the United Auto Workers, is now
forced to grapple with the aggressively antiunion legislation.
In Illinois, collective bargaining has
already begun to come under attack.
Senate Bill 7, passed in June 2011, severely limited the issues that the CTU
can discuss at the bargaining table,
making it difficult to discuss important topics like class size and school closings. Bruce Rauner, Republican gubernatorial candidate and close ally of Mayor Rahm
Emanuel, has been quoted in the Chicago
Tribune advocating for the “really talented
teachers” to break from the CTU. Right-towork legislation is getting closer and closer to
Chicago and fierce opposition will be necessary in order to maintain the collective bargaining rights that give us power.

YOUR RIGHTS
YOUR RIGHTS
Short-Term Disability
Know Your Rights
By Jackson Potter
T
here has been some confusion in regards to the short-term disability and
maternity benefits in our new contract.
Please visit ctunet.com/leave to download a comprehensive description of the actual policy. Some of the basic provisions are:
• You can receive up to 90 days of pay (100%
for first 30, 80% for the next 30, 60% for
last 30) if you need to recover from an extended illness or birth. You may, but can
choose not to, use days in your sick bank
to increase days 31 to 90 to 100 percent
pay. If you exhaust short term disability
for the year, you may use your longevity
days for additional sick leave later in the
year. However, if you need extensive time
off if you want to protect yourself from
an unexpected long illness then you have
the option of purchasing LTD insurance
during the open enrollment period. For
more information call The Standard at
800-368-1135.
• In the past, first year teachers could not
secure a medical leave for any condition.
That has changed with the new policy.
• Also in the past, teachers having second
babies within 2 years or teachers with a
re-occurring illnesses that exhausted their
FMLA leave were forced to resign after 10
consecutive days of absence. This policy
changes that and allows teachers up to 90
days to recuperate instead of being forced
to resign.
• The need for ANY short term disability/
maternity benefit time must be established
by a medical professional. The Plan allows
for six weeks off for a regular delivery and
eight weeks off for a C-section.
• If you meet the eligibility requirements
and you have a medical condition that
renders you unable to work, you must initiate your short term disability claim within 10 calendar days from your date of disability by contacting Sedgwick, the Claim
Administrator, at 866-251-9251.
Please Note: While Short Term Disability allows for salary continuation, an approved
leave of absence must be obtained as well. An
approved leave of absence provides for a period of job protection. Leave of Absence forms
are available on HR4U. If you have questions
regarding a leave of absence, contact CPS HR
at 773-5853-HR4U.
• The 90 days of STD can be applied over
a 12 month rolling period. If you begin
short-term disability on September 5,
2013, the district will review whether you
have used any of the 90 days within the
last 12 months. If you have, those days will
be subtracted from the 90 total days available. If not, you will begin the use of the
STD benefit days spanning the following
12 months.
• If you have used all 10 days in your sick
bank and are absent for a medically verifiable reason (with documentation from a
medical professional) for even ONE day,
you can claim short term disability.
• We recommend that you apply for FMLA
(the Family Medical Leave Act) at the same
time that you are on Short Term Disability.
This gives you additional job protection.
However, if you do not qualify for FMLA
leave you can still be granted a STD leave.
• In order to use the STD benefit you must
first exhaust your annual 10 day sick bank.
• The short-term disability payment will
only be applied for work days you were
scheduled to work but are unable to report
to school.
• While you are out on short term disability
you will be paid biweekly.
• If your claim is denied there is a process to
appeal the denial.
P
lease refer to the relevant contract language below for the exact description of
the benefit. Please note that you may apply for
these benefits only with regards to yourself.
You cannot take Short Term Disability Leave
in order to care for a relative, for that purpose
you would need to apply for Family Medical
Leave (FMLA) – please see article 33-7 of the
contract for details on your FMLA rights.
33-7.1. Parental Leave. A teacher may request leave for the purpose of caring for his
or her newborn child. Maternity leave benefits are provided through the short-term disability plan.
Paternity/Parental Leave is for fathers, same
sex couples or adoptive parents. It allows you
10 school days off anytime during the first
year of the birth of your child.
You must supply a birth certificate and a marriage or civil union certificate. You will need
to apply for FMLA at the same time.
37-5. Short-Term Disability Leave. Effective
January 1, 2013, the BOARD shall establish
a short-term disability and paid maternity
leave plan for employees at no cost to employees who are eligible for health care benefits.
37-5.1. Benefits. The short-term disability policy shall provide disability benefits for
employee illness in excess of ten consecutive days (including maternity leave days)
as follows: (a) one hundred percent of the
employee’s regular full-time pay for the first
thirty calendar days of the employee’s disability and/or maternity leave; (b) eighty percent
of the employee’s regular full-time pay for
calendar days thirty-one through sixty of the
employee’s disability and/or maternity leave;
and, (c) sixty percent of the employee’s regular full-time pay for calendar days sixty-one
through ninety of the employee’s disability
and/or maternity leave.
twelve-month period; (c) they have exhausted all sick days allotted for the year; (d) they
have submitted a qualifying medical certification of their disability or maternity; (e) they
are not receiving worker’s compensation, victims of violence leave or long-term disability
benefits for the disability; and (f) they satisfy
any other eligibility requirements to qualify
for the benefit approved by the LMCC, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
37-5.3. Employee Benefits During Paid
Short-Term Disability Leave. Employees
on short-term disability leave may continue
their employee benefits [e.g., health, dental,
life, or 403(b)] on the same terms as if they
were actively employed. Deductions shall be
made from short-term disability payments
for those benefits.
37-5.4. Coordination with FMLA and
Supplemental FMLA Leaves of Absence.
Short-term disability leaves and any period
of sick leave used immediately preceding the
short-term disability leave period run in parallel with qualifying FMLA leaves of absence.
Time spent on a short-term disability leave
of absence shall count towards the maximum number of days or weeks of FMLA or
Supplemental FMLA leaves of absence.
37-5.2. Eligibility for Short-Term Disability
and Paid Maternity Leave Benefits.
Employees are eligible for short-term disability if they satisfy the following requirements:
(a) they have been employed for at least sixty
calendar days; (b) they have not exhausted
ninety paid calendar days of short-term disability or maternity leave in the preceding

Legislative Update
Why We March
By Stacy Davis Gates
By Michael Brunson
The speech below was delivered to hundreds
of teachers, parents, students and community
members as they prepared to begin the South
Side leg of the “Our City, Our Schools, Our
Voice” Three-Day March for Education Justice.
W
e are marching for justice. This is
a demand for justice: educational
justice, social justice,
economic justice and human justice. This is a demand for
justice!
We cannot allow this to happen. This is about
the safety of our children. This is about having a real quality and equitably resourced
public education system for our children.
We have had enough—enough of the depredation and destruction of our public school
system, and enough of the lies. For years
Why do we march? We are marching because we have had enough.
For too long there has been an assault on our public schools, public services and public properties.
This has gone too far. We will not
let you take away our children’s
schools. We will not let you deprive our youth of their future.
We will not let you jeopardize our
children’s lives.
This mayor and this school board
are about to attempt the largest
school closing in the history of
this nation, and we are here to tell
them once again, “No!” We told
their ad hoc commission, we told CPS at their
community hearings, we told the judges at
their public hearings. Parents, students, community members and education workers told
the mayor, told the Board, told the media:
Do not close our schools—support them and
give them the resources they need. Well over
20,000 people told them that. Did they listen?
No!
We have got to make them hear us. We have
got to make them see us. We have got to make
them respect us. And again we say: DON’T
CLOSE OUR SCHOOLS!
They are trying to tell us if our schools are not
filled to the brim and busting at the seams
they are “underutilized.” Let’s ask the mayor,
let’s ask the Board of Education members,
“How many students are there in your children’s classroom?” Let’s use that number as
our “efficient utilization” number. Do that,
and all 54 schools will come off that list!
for our children, we are marching for our
public schools, we are marching for FREE
AND EQUITABLE PUBLICLY FUNDED
PUBLIC EDUCATION. We are marching for
justice.
And those of you who are pushing this school
DEFORM movement: closing our neighborhood schools; depriving
our children of what they
need; and attacking veteran
educators, we are here to
let you know. You may have
the money, you may have
powerful positions, and you
may constantly push your
falsehoods and fictions and
harmful policies in front of
our faces and in front of the
media. But remember, WE
OUTNUMBER YOU!
South side, West side and
North side, too. This whole
city is on the move. This is
not just a march. THIS IS A
MOVEMENT!
now powerful and elite moneymen and their
spokesmen have called the assault on our
public education system a “reform” movement and they have said over and over that
it is the “civil rights issue of our generation.”
How can you call this reform? How can you
dare to associate what you do with “civil
rights” when you close schools, snatch up
jobs and endanger our children? How dare
you call it “civil rights” when you destabilize
our communities, disenfranchise those who
live in them and disinvest from the future of
our youth? How dare you call it “civil rights”
when you re-segregate our schools, eliminate
diversity in the teaching force and destroy our
communities?
W
e are here to reclaim the meaning, and the
significance, and the dignity of real civil
rights. We are here because we can show you,
and tell you, and teach you about real civil
rights, about human rights, about democracy
and about human dignity! We are marching

THIS IS OUR CITY, OUR
SCHOOLS AND OUR
VOICE and we are marching to make that
known.
L
egislative session ended dramatically
Friday, May 31, 2013, with the failure of
House Floor Amendment No. 2 of Senate
Bill 1920. The Chicago Public Schools
“budget crisis” looms as we near the end of the
school year, but for now, no cuts to pension
benefits have passed the legislature. Governor
Pat Quinn has called a special session for June
19, however, where they will try again.
CPS has a $600 million pension payment to
make, but the legislature authorized no additional revenues to help the district make
this payment. Undoubtedly, CPS will claim a
serious budget crisis. Mayor Rahm Emanuel
has demonstrated a lack of leadership and
his appointed Board of Education has done
a miserable job governing the district. They
will close 50 elementary schools without a
clear and cohesive plan, and now they have to
deal with a looming budget issue.
But rather than finding additional revenue,
the mayor pushed through spending for a
new DePaul basketball arena, millions for
Navy Pier development and extended TIFs
that were set to expire in SB20 at the same
time he sought relief from the Illinois General
Assembly. Now more than ever we must demand an end to mayoral control and push for
an elected representative school board.
What we accomplished
Michael Brunson is the Recording Secretary of
the Chicago Teachers Union.
While many have characterized this year’s
spring session as a “do-nothing” General
Assembly, we worked successfully to defend
against draconian pension “reform” threats,
full funding for charter schools and voucher
legislation.

he Chicago Teachers Union
launched its series of voter registration and education workshops
last month at AME Bethel Church
Recently re-elected CTU President Karen
Lewis was among the trainees, and received
a standing ovation as she addressed the
crowd and announced the next phase in
the Union’s fight for education justice and
equality in Chicago. “Brothers and sisters,
There were countless threats to the CPS budget as downstate legislators pounced on the
opportunity given to them by the Emanuel
administration. In order to justify this year’s
round of school closings, the mayor’s team
pointed to the depopulation of the South and
West sides of the city, which gave them ammunition to proclaim that the block grants
given to the city for poverty and special education purposes were no longer needed. If
these grants were revoked, this would have
wreaked havoc on the district’s budget.
We also saw an uptick in presence of our
members, retirees, parents and community
partners this session. Every week, the CTU
sponsored a bus trip to the state capitol to
lobby for a moratorium on school closings
and against pension “reform.” Increased presence in the capitol is always a positive.
Next steps
A
s we move into the summer months it is
important for us to make our voices heard.
There are many issues still on the table in advance of the June 19 special session. The CTU
is calling for “Revenue Reform,” and we support closing the corporate tax loopholes and
creating a tax scheme that builds a strong
middle class and funds essential services.
The state of Illinois has a revenue problem.
Did you know that two-thirds of the companies in the state are paying no corporate
income tax? The fat cats would have us believe that modest public employee pensions—earned over a lifetime—have placed
the state in dire financial straits. We have
seen considerable budgetary compromises to
mayoral control is a disaster,” Lewis said.
“We must change the conversation, so we
must change the political landscape.”
The next voter registrar training is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., Thursday, June 27, 2013,
at Quinn Chapel AME Church, 2401 S.
Wabash. To register, or for more information, visit ctunet.com/elections for the political education workshop sign-up page.
essential social services, education funding
and healthcare, while many of Illinois’ corporations receive a free ride. This is not fair. So
while our state’s most vulnerable populations
endure the loss of essential healthcare services and school districts deal with disappearing
revenues from the state, two-thirds of corporations in Illinois are getting a tax-free ride.
A fair tax structure is needed in Illinois that
makes the wealthy pay their fair share. A financial transaction tax would provide billions of additional revenue for our schools.
We also need TIF reform that takes the CPS
out of the TIF business permanently.

Student Solidarity from Wisconsin
CTU In Toronto: at the CUPE Convention
By Ronnie Reese
By Dr. John Kugler
F
I
ifth grade students at Lincoln Elementary
in Madison, Wisconsin, wrote letters of
support last month for 6th grade students at Carter Elementary on Chicago’s
South Side. Carter is one of five elementary
schools the Chicago Board of Education
slated for turnaround during its May 22 vote.
The goodwill exchange was organized by the
Chicago Teachers Union Communications
and Organizing departments and facilitated
by teachers Laurie Solchenberger of Lincoln
and Delena Youngbood from Carter.
The idea came from one of Solchenberger’s
students, Marco, who learned about Chicago’s
record proposal for school closings during a
current events discussion. “Why don’t we
write those kids letters saying we support
them?” he asked.
“The idea generated a classroom of applause,”
Solchenberger said. “As their teacher, I fully
supported my students in acting on their
idea.” After receiving the letters, Youngblood’s
6th grade class at Carter promptly replied,
with some students writing two letters so no
one in the larger Lincoln class would be left
out. Both classes later held a virtual chat via
Skype where they discussed school closings
and turnarounds.
“When I showed them the envelope and
said, ‘We got our letters,’ students cheered!”
Solchenberger said. “I have never seen my
students so excited about their reading!”
n the ongoing fight for social justice,
the Chicago Teachers Union was invited to attend Canadian Union of
Public Employees Ontario’s 50th annual
Convention in Toronto. CUPE Ontario is
the political wing of the Canadian Union
of Public Employees—Canada’s largest
union—in the country’s most populated
province. With more than 200,000 members, CUPE Ontario is a formidable political voice.
CUPE Ontario campaigns at the provincial
level—the equivalent of our state level—or
legislative, policy and political change on
issues affecting public services and the dedicated members who deliver them. CUPE
is proud to partner with labor and community groups to build strong communities.
The CTU was asked to go up to Canada and
talk about its successful 2012 strike where
Chicago teachers resisted an attack on public sector employees. Michael Harrington,
Director of Union Operations, and I traveled to Toronto to share insights and strategies to fighting back against the global opposition to organized labor.
During the first day of talks, CTU representatives met with the executive board
of CUPE Ontario, led by President Fred
Hahn. A social worker raised in rural
Ontario, Fred made labor history in 2009
when he was elected as the first openly gay
labor leader in Ontario.
Most, if not all, of the questions from the
executive board addressed the issue of how
the CTU mobilized its 25,000 members to
go out on strike for the first time in 25 years.
The response was always “with a lot of hard
work and coalition building throughout the
city.”
from the boss, but need to be supported
and trained to enforce their rights locally
with their fellow union members. We also
participated in a strike rally in front of
Toronto’s city hall with the International
Union of Elevator Constructors, who have
been out on strike for 30 days.
On the last day of our visit, Michael
Harrington gave the keynote address to the
50th anniversary convention of 1,000-delegate assembly. The title of Harrington’s
speech was “Union Work is Public Work,”
and he explained that, “In building solidarity across the board, unions of informed
and active members—like CUPE—can
overcome the challenges we face, grow our
ranks, make progress on social justice and
expand the list of societal benefits we have
already achieved.” After the speech we went
out for a demonstration to the Ontario
Ministry of Labour to protest budget cuts
to public sector workers.
It seemed like everywhere in Toronto we
met workers in “fight back” mode against
privatization, forced mergers, cutbacks, restructuring and other issues affecting quality of life for the middle class. There were
daily protests in the streets against sweeping government and private sector trends.
Cut wages and benefits, yet force more
work and more hours? Canadians aren’t
taking these “austerity” measures lying
down! They are fighting back just like we
are in Chicago.
Dr. Kugler is a Citywide Field
Representative for the CTU.
During the second day of talks, we met
with the Toronto & York Region Labour
Council, led by President John Cartwright.
In those talks, the central issue was training rank-and-file members to engage in
building the strength of union locals to
fight against attacks on workers’ rights.
Again, the answer was a lot of hard work.
It was important that we conveyed the idea
that rank-and-file members should get
away from relying on others to save them

“The work that Alex is committed to doing is work that
I hope to see built in to every curriculum one day. She
is at the forefront of creating safe schools, not just
through a focus on antibullying, which is extremely
important, but also through
actively engaging her students and challenging them
every day to embraces their
differences, to question stereotypes and to treat each
other with respect.”
After some introductory
remarks by CTU President
Karen Lewis, Mel Ferrand,
chairperson of the GLBT
Rights Committee, presented Hollett with her award.
Wardell, whom this award
memorializes, was a Chicago teacher, CTU member
and LGBT activist.
Throughout this past year,
Hollett engaged in a variety of activities to
foster awareness of LGBT issues. Recently, she
did a slam poetry unit where her classes were
exposed to the poetry of Andrea Gibson, a
queer spoken word artist from Colorado. One
of the Gibson poems Hollett’s students read
was “Letter to a Playground Bully,” and in her
lesson she spoke about the need for schools to
create safe spaces for all students.
Additionally, Hollett has created a specific
space for LGBT fiction and non-fiction in
her classroom library. Currently, Hollett’s
students are doing a research project about
gender roles in today’s society and as a result,
they decided to stop lining up at school based
on gender. Hollett has also taken her activism
outside of the classroom by engaging other
teachers and staff about LGBT topics. She
hopes to create a professional development
session on LGBT issues in the near future.
“It’s an honor to receive this year’s Allan
Wardell Award and to be a part of his continuing legacy, but first and foremost I must
give props to my incredible students, since

orientation and discrimination,” Hollett said
upon receiving her award. “It’s not easy to
tackle these issues, and unfortunately, sometimes institutions that should help protect
non-conforming students actually end up being a venue for our kids to be mistreated and
harmed.
“I’m grateful to be a part of a growing community of passionate students and educators
who see the creation of safe spaces for all students as the first priority. I know the momentum of this movement will only continue to
grow.”
“Alex has a strong focus on engaging in restorative justice practices with her students,”
said Jen Haggard, senior organizer, SEIU
Local 73. Haggard nominated Hollett for the
award.
“Her drive to create a safe space for all kids
that not only allows for but encourages selfexploration, positive growth and creativity,
motivated her to create a unit focused on

Still Separate, Still Unequal
By Pavlyn Jankov
Segregated schooling is one of the most ruthless and persistent of “status quo” educational
policies in our country. It is a cornerstone of
a system that reproduces inequity for communities of color while preserving status and
prestige for the advantaged. In CPS, segregation has increased in the last several decades,
and the associated policies of disinvestment
and destabilization are as acute as ever.
African-American students are now more
segregated by both race and class than they
were twenty years ago. In 1989, 32 percent
of African-American students in Chicago
Public Schools attended schools where the
student population was at least 90 percent
African American, and at least 90 percent of
students qualified for Free or Reduced Lunch.
In 2012 a majority of African-American students, 54 percent, attended such schools.
While we know that in Chicago, school and
residential segregation go hand in hand, over
the past several decades residential segregation of African-Americans has declined
in Chicago while school segregation has
increased.
African-American teachers are also highly
segregated across the system, and they are
more segregated today than they were a decade ago. Over the past decade, the number
of schools with integrated staff has decreased.
The number of schools with less than 10 percent Black teaching staff more than tripled.
Schools with no Black teachers increased by
a factor of five. Over the same time, the percent of African-American teachers in CPS
dropped from 40 percent to 25 percent, primarily due to the closure of neighborhood
schools that were replaced by charters and
turnarounds that seldom hire teachers of
color.
Another dimension to the impact of charters is that African-American students are
now nearly twice as likely to have a first-year
teacher as white students. This disparity is
driven entirely by the proliferation of segregated charters, with their tremendously high
teacher turnover rates and high proportions
of first-year teachers.
For most students of
color, the “choice” in
Chicago is increasingly
between attending two
kinds of schools: (a)
segregated schools that
are operated by private
charters—or by other
private outfits such as
the turnaround operator AUSL—where there
are very few educators
of color and very high
percentages of firstyear teachers, or (b)
segregated neighborhood schools, where
both students and staff
of color are segregated
and are subject to continuous disinvestment
and destabilization.
Even though segregated schools were targeted for closure over the past decade, segregation increased during this period. School
closings disenfranchise communities of color
by robbing them of stable institutions and educational representation. The destabilization
of school closings can cause re-segregation
along both racial and class lines as middleclass families with resources may leave their
neighborhood schools or their neighborhoods altogether, leaving communities of
color even more socio-economically isolated.
With 50 closures this school year, the current
administration has committed to deepening
the harms of segregation rather than investing resources to create an integrated and
equal school system.

Thinking of a Master Plan
By Sarah Hainds
C
hicago Public Schools has been managing our school facilities without a
plan—at least not a published one and
certainly not one that any stakeholders besides Chicago’s elite have had any participation in developing. This changed with
the passage of SB 630 (Public Act 097-0474)
in 2011, which amended the Illinois School
Code to include mandates regarding school
actions and facility master planning. Chicago
Union Teacher readers are probably familiar
with the changes regarding the school closing process, but unfortunately, CPS has done
a poor job in informing the schools and the
public of their rights and obligations to participate in the development of a comprehensive, citywide 10-year educational facility
master plan (EFMP) for every school in the
district. What is CPS trying to hide? Why do
the political elite of this city think they can
spend our tax dollars on anything they want,
without public oversight or input? We need to
demand a seat at the table and play an active
and integral role in the development of this
10-year EFMP.
especially in light of the fact that the CEFTF
and legislators in Springfield have been calling for a moratorium on school closings until AFTER the EFMP is published. The data
analysis that is needed to create an accurate
EFMP would show that it is not necessary to
close 50 schools this year.
The EFMP draft was initially due on January
1, 2013, and the final version due July 1, 2013.
In between those dates, the public, all stakeholders and all sister agencies in the city are
supposed to review and revise the draft so
that CPS can publish a collective and comprehensive document that outlines a shared
educational vision for the district, detailing
exactly how the school facilities will help support that vision. When CPS was granted the
extension to announce the 2013 school actions, it was also granted an extension on the
EFMP.
D
CPS quietly published the draft of the EFMP
on its website on May 1, 2013. The Chicago
Teachers Union is an active member of the
Chicago Educational Facilities Task Force
(CEFTF) and the Facilities Master Plan subcommittee, and has been working with fellow task force members to assess the draft
and make recommendations for how CPS
should revise it prior to final publication. Of
all the many issues we have with this draft
document, the lack of school and community engagement is the most glaring. CPS admitted that the draft was going to be a very
rough draft since everyone was focused on
the school actions this year. That is absolutely no excuse for this lackluster document,
In the current draft plan (available at
ctunet.com/facilities):
• CPS is hiding their charter expansion plan
• CPS is excluding school staff from participating, blatantly violating the legislative
mandate for full school and community
engagement
• CPS is rushing through the planning
process
• CPS is trying to divide and conquer us by
keeping us in stakeholder silos and preventing us from collaborating and learning from each other
uring the CTU
strike last fall,
because the Union
and its many allies
and supporters organized throughout the city, people
were able to meet
others from different communities. Through that
process, people in
well-advantaged schools learned how much
better their school facilities and programs
were. Simultaneously, people in less-advantaged schools realized what their schools
lacked that they were actually entitled to by
nature of being in the same school district.
Chicago is famously segregated ethnically
and economically. The concept of the “concentric ring theory”—that cities are organized with the poorest people near the light
manufacturing district close to downtown
and the richest people in the outer rings and
suburbs—was first developed here in 1925.
While our downtown has recently become
residential and most light manufacturing has
been converted into loft condos, the concentric rings still hold true to a certain extent
and were made very obvious in the maps
produced during the fight against the school
closures. When CPS Chief Transformation
Officer Todd Babbitz was recently being
grilled in Springfield over the inequality and
inequity of the school closing decisions, his
response was that CPS intentionally closing
schools in low-income Black communities is
simply a function of geography because those
areas are losing the most residents. State
Representative Ken Dunkin (D-5th), whose
district stretches from Division Street to
79th Street, responded, “So you’re saying the
problem is segregation? If Chicago has lost so
many African-Americans, then why did we
only lose one aldermanic ward?”
B
abbitz didn’t admit that Chicago communities are racially and economically segregated because CPS doesn’t take a proactive
role in fixing Chicago’s segregation problems.
Separate is never equal. CPS is intimately
intertwined with city hall and community
development, and the district knows that if
schools in disenfranchised communities were
better resourced, people
would flock to them like
they do on the North
Side of the city. Schools
are centers of their communities and provide
many good jobs. Their
facilities are community assets that should
be used by communitybased organizations and
other entities to provide
programming throughout the day, every day. Schools can be a driving force in community revitalization.
We need to demand that CPS does the
Facilites Master Plan right. The plan needs to
be based on accurate and comprehensive data
about what our schools have and need. We
cannot do this in the silos that CPS is placing us. We need to start with schools, but we
can’t limit our analysis to only the community
areas that CPS has defined. Even analyzing
what we have and what we need at the network collaborative level is not enough. This
must be a citywide effort if we are ever going to fix the geographic inequalities we face.
Let’s demand our rightful seat at the table!

BOOK REVIEWS
Review By Debby Pope
Metro, as it was known, was an experimental
high school that existed in Chicago from
1970 until its destruction by CPS in 1991.
The school was very much a product of its
times—Vietnam War protests, the Civil
Rights movement and the myriad of social
and cultural changes that occurred in the
late 1960s and early 1970s. One reflection of
that is that the teachers were all addressed by
their first names.
METRO: The Chicago
Public High School for
Metropolitan Studies
1970-1991
Edited by Paula Baron
The idea behind Metro was that classes
would be small, relevant and that the
curriculum would be driven by the interests
of the students and staff. Furthermore,
Metro staff was committed to taking
education out of the classroom and making
the entire city of Chicago into a laboratory
for learning. They developed relationships
with museums, government institutions
such as courts, theater companies, hospitals,
businesses and other institutions where
working professionals helped teach students
such subjects as acting, science, physical
education, social studies and graphic design.
Curriculum was guided by the school’s
mantra, “Freedom, Choice, Responsibility.”
How different this sounds from the test/
accountability-driven slogans that aspire to
inspire our current-day students on the walls
of Chicago’s high schools, and how different
the curriculum was! Accountability, the buzz
word of pseudo-reformers everywhere, was
a mere shadow of its current self. The idea
of developing inquiring, curious and even
iconoclastic was at the forefront. The concept
of student-centered instruction was at the
forefront of teaching styles—lesson plans
and structured assessments, not so much.
34 | CHICAGO UNION TEACHER | JUNE 2013
Metro’s goal was student diversity. Its initial
student body was recruited by accepting two
students from each high school in the city,
aiming for economic, racial and geographical
diversity. Parental involvement in the project
was critical, and, for most of its years, Metro
had a highly engaged and activist parent
group. Metro was in many ways not how
CPS liked to do business—it was most
definitely not “business as usual.” At several
junctures in the school’s history, this parent
body was called upon to defend the very
existence of their school, and they rose to the
challenge time after time.
Metro was eventually destroyed by CPS in
the early 1990s after being downgraded to a
program in Crane High School.
What are the lessons for today? Is the Metro
model relevant? For those of us who are
fighting against a test-driven curriculum,
devoid of creativity and micro-managed
from above by those with business
backgrounds, I would have to say “Yes.”
While not every aspect of the format might
be applicable, the idea of a high school
where students and teachers form a learning
community, develop curriculum and
dialogue together is highly relevant. Seeking
out real-world resources and relying less
on textbooks and worksheets can foster the
development of active and engaged students
who will become responsible participants,
fighting for justice in the society they live
in. The Metro motto says it all, “Freedom,
Choice, Responsibility.” Paula Baron’s book is
more than a memoir; it is also an inspiration
for educators.

Amazon. It can also be downloaded without
