From the CTU web site:

Will your neighborhood school be next on the Board of Education's chopping block?   The Board has already... ELIMINATED after-school and sports programs, CUT over 200 citywide teachers (special services, literacy coaches, hospital teachers, and more), REDUCED world language classes,

...and plans to: INCREASE high school class sizes, DECREASE the number of electives offered to our students, and FIRE more teachers in addition to the hundreds already terminated or displaced WITHOUT regard to seniority and tenure.

The Board hasn't learned its lesson yet. Let's plan how we will fight these cuts together.
