Dear Parents, Teachers and Students,
It is time to take control of our own destiny. We must began to make realistic sacrifices independent of money allocated by the public sector and private charter school funders who have the power to reject or accept our proposals. Marva Collins a pioneer in education, recognized locally, here in Chicago , nationally and internationally showed us the way. As you know we, the C.A.U.S.E. Chicago Alliance of Urban School Educators and Teach 4 The Future INC. have spent several years writing grants to secure funds for our educational programs. After several years we received funding and it was taken away by the newly elected Governor Rauner. We are now left with hundreds of highly qualified African American experienced educators that have been displaced and replaced by young White inexperienced interns in our schools. We have decided that our destiny cannot depend on the benevolence of other to invest our tax dollars with equity. It appears that that will never be the case.

With that in mind, we will be meeting this Thursday August 20, 2015 @
1809 East 71st @ 4:00 to discuss the creation of our own academic
institutions. We will be looking at the possibility of purchasing our
own school. WE need parents, teachers, students and administrators to
join us. If you are a Displaced teachers and want to do more than
retire, let's create our own schools for our children.
