A better, not just longer, day
More social services, counselors and nurses for our schools
Job security and fair compensation for teachersTeachers’ needs and our children’s needs go hand in hand. With parents and teachers united, we can win the schools our children deserve!
Call 773-553-1500 and make your voice heard!
Host a parent/teacher meeting at your home or school
If you just listened to the media, you’d think the current teacher contract dispute is only about money. But nothing could be farther from the truth. Teachers are fighting for the things that matter most in our schools. Their teaching conditions are our children’s learning conditions.
Host a meeting at your home or school to discuss what’s at stake with your friends, neighbors and fellow parents. Contact info@parents4teachers.net and we’ll help facilitate the meeting and make a presentation.
Parent pressure on the board is the key to avoiding a strike. We all need to stay informed and involved.
Please share this email with your friends!

How about a reasonable evaluation system that doesn’t include VAM?
The Tribune suggests that we “give Brizard a chance”??? How much support did he give schools? Apparently I am the only teacher he has not met. Let me show you how my students learn and how they can be accurately assessed. To borrow his catch phrase: I am confident that I know my job, he does not.
