African American Teachers Drop to 19.5 % from over 51% in the late 90'[s

Today I had a CAUSE meeting at Operation PUSH. I pulled data from the ISBE interactive report card. Guess what? African American teachers are only 19% of teachers in District 299. In 1996 they were 51%. Of the 15 schools to Turn-Around
or close 14 are in AA Communities. So next year were lucky if we have 5% AA teachers. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
