ICYMI: Under USDA's new standards, schools will be required to limit added sugars and reduce sodium in breakfast and lunch menus by fall 2027. #schoolmeals #schoolnutrition buff.ly/4b8cu0s
Peck has one of the highest Opportunity Index scores in district—only 25 elementary schools ranked below them. (Is this an instance where SPED budgeting needs to be appealed, which is pretty standard every year, or is it a change due to funding model? 🧐) docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

However, CTU does not agree with the current funding base model. They are committed working with CPS, but the current funding undermines the massive needs of students. There must be additional base line positions added such as paraprofessionals and teacher assistants.
Kind of funny to see these Heritage folks position themselves as warriors for Title IX and civil rights protections for women while also pledging to eliminate the agencies that enforce civil rights laws
Remember all those college/university presidential statements decrying anti-Black police state violence and calling themselves sanctuary campuses in the face of xenophobic state actions? Not even 10 years later, these “leaders” are calling in police repression on their students.
Why does the free mkt logic fail in education? A long thread below. Very relevant to current #vouchers #ESA debate. You can see the whole paper (ungated) here: edworkingpapers.com/authors/dougla… + journal version here: journals.sagepub.com/stoken/default…
Chicago’s low-income families of students w/disabilities eligible for $500 grants. Grants will be awards through a lottery system. Apply online at AdaMOPD.com or can text “AdaMOPD” to (877) 478-1359. Applications are open through 10/30. chalkbeat.org/chicago/2024/0…
Chicago is using $5 million in pandemic relief money to offer one-time, $500 grants to low-income families of students with disabilities. During the announcement, Mayor Johnson acknowledged the uneven impact that COVID had on kids with disabilities: chalkbeat.org/chicago/2024/0…

Chi Public Schools says no type of school being hit harder than others. But parents say principals present a different picture. AND CPS REFUSES TO RELEASE SCHOOL BUDGETS to the press. Where is the transparency? wbez.org/stories/cpss-s…

@Suntimes @NeilSteinberg Some CPS schools only have music for certain grades because of overcrowding and budget. A world class music city deserves a world class public school music program.
And remember that it’s not just Catholic schools that get the money. Vouchers become the dominant source of revenue for *churches* that run those schools. It’s mandatory tithing for taxpayers—and it’s entirely the point.
The voucher-effect is resurrecting Catholic schools after years of decline. That was part of the plan. #SchoolChoice

While everyone you know is mourning the loss of our public schools, this celebratory tweet comes from Americans for Prosperity. They are funded by billionaire Charles Koch. Friends, our Reps sold us out because they were paid to. Vote every one of them out.
A recent review of research confirms multiple benefits of "looping" - that is, having a teacher stay with a class of students for more than one year: edworkingpapers.com/ai22-590
This is an excellent question. For me it’s: 1) more expectations with 0 support from district or school admin 2) less creative freedom 3) too few adults to help with dysregulated students 4) an absence of helpful and fruitful PD 5) high-stakes standardized testing
I've read through these responses and have seen other posts about teacher's leaving the profession in droves but no one spells out what exactly is making them leave? Most say it is not the kids. Some mention admin, but I'm curious what exactly is making everyone leave?
