Dear CPS Teachers,
Here is the data for the purge in African American Teachers IN Chicago, District 299. Since 1195 when the Amendatory Act was passed,( Granting mayoral control of the schools) African American Teachers dropped from 17,000 to 4,630 as of 2011. We expect another loss of 2,000 this year. (results are not in yet. We will be blessed to have 3,000 African Americans teachers left. With a population of over 90% minority students, Hispanics aan Blacks will comprise 33.7% of the teaching force for 2011 and less than that for 2012.
With an impending strike, Rahm Emmanuel has stated that he will layoff teachers to give the CTU the raise it is asking for. The last time teachers were granted a 4% raise thousands of Veteran teachers were fired. With the CTU's insistence that salary and raises be the primary factors during negotiations, class size, working conditions and job loss will be the result of a majority of novice, new teachers getting a hefty raise at the expense of veterans who will be targeted for fining.
The rationale for the limitations of contract negotiations lie with the fact that Senate Bill 7 a new law passed WITH the support of the CTU, (Chicago Teachers Union) the IFT(Illinois Federation of Teachers) and The IEA Illinois Education Association, limits bargaining for issues important to teachers such as job loss, class size , safety and a multitude of other issues that are not permissible items to be discussed under the mandates of SB7.
Please do your homework before supporting initiatives that may cost you your job. We cannot afford to lose anymore minority teachers.
