Ald. Silvana Tabares made a very important point in public comment before the board vote. CTU takes in more than $30M a year. But it spends just 17 cents of every dollar on teacher representation. The rest goes toward administration, politics and other leadership priorities. The contract with CPS is what fuels their political machine. The bigger the contract, the more money CTU can give to Johnson and his allies.

This is gross. I hope those board members are held personally liable when Pedro sues and wins for wrongful termination.

What happens now? Is there a vetting process for the Pedro replacement or can they just appoint someone tomorrow? If there’s a vetting process, any chance it takes long enough that the elected members have a say?

WATCH: Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez just made his strongest statement yet about what led to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson firing him. Johnson and Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates pressured Martinez to take out a reckless $300 million loan that would have plunged the district further into financial crisis, because they think they can force Gov. JB Pritzker’s hand to bail out the district given his presidential aspirations. Martinez refused to back the loan. So the mayor and the union ousted him. This entire clip is a must-watch.

A rousing sendoff for Pedro Martinez at CPS HQ this evening. Martinez was fired by Mayor Johnson’s handpicked school board 6 months ago. Martinez warned about the “absolute power” he feels the controversial CTU was attempting to exert over the school system.

Here’s a supercut of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson promising voters he would not raise their property taxes. Today he broke that promise under pressure from government unions, including the Chicago Teachers Union, Johnson’s largest donor and former employer.

WATCH: In an interview last night, Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates says she would personally pass petitions for Mayor Brandon Johnson’s re-election. “Where the governor has failed to fund our schools, the mayor has given us a billion dollars…I don’t think we’ve done better at Chicago Public Schools than under [Johnson’s] leadership.”

MUST WATCH: New footage shows organizers pushing Chicago Public Schools students to vote “yes” on Mayor Brandon Johnson’s $100 million real estate tax hike during a “Parade to the Polls” event held yesterday during school hours. This is blatant exploitation of public schools for political gain. And a prime example of the city’s new political machine. The event was organized by the Chicago Teachers Union ahead of the March 19 primary election. And CTU leadership promised district officials, journalists, teachers and parents that it would not be political. But this footage shows they lied. Here’s how it all went down ⬇️ CTU is Brandon Johnson’s former employer and largest financial backer. Johnson’s tax increase referendum is on the March 19 primary ballot. On Monday, CTU Vice President Jackson Potter emailed union members telling them to pull students from class to attend a “Student Power Forum” co-sponsored by Bring Chicago Home. CTU has contributed $400,000 to Bring Chicago Home, which is an advocacy organization created to push Johnson’s tax hike referendum. Illinois Policy immediately filed an ethics complaint with the CPS - Chicago Public Schools ethics office and CPSInspectorGeneral. Per the CPS Code of Ethics, “Employees are permitted to engage in Political Activity on a voluntary basis during non-work hours, vacation, or personal time. Employees are not permitted to engage in Political Activity during any other Board compensated time.” Political activity is defined as: “Preparing for, organizing, or participating in any political meeting, political rally, political demonstration, or other political event.” By asking teachers to prepare for and organize students to participate in the Student Power Forum, which was occurring during school hours and organized by a political group pushing Johnson’s tax hike, it was clear the union was asking members to violate the CPS Code of Ethics. How did the union respond to that complaint? First, they called the Illinois Policy Institute racist for filing it and said it was an attempt at voter suppression. Then they told journalists that Bring Chicago Home was not part of the event and any concerns were part of a right-wing conspiracy. (Note: Figures like Dick Simpson, Laura Washington and Eric Zorn were all calling foul on this as well.) And they told Chicago Public Schools officials that the event would adhere to the district’s ethics policy. But CTU lied to everyone. Using public schools to push a political outcome like this is an attack on the legitimacy of the democratic process. Full stop. CTU President Stacy Davis Gates, Vice President Jackson Potter and Mayor Brandon Johnson must be held accountable.

Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates is joining Mayor Brandon Johnson on his trip to Italy this week. Notably, both Gates and Johnson have been berating other public officials for weeks to fight for more Chicago Public Schools funding from Springfield. “The house is on fire,” Gates told the school board two weeks ago. “You get water.” With Springfield’s legislative session ending May 31, Gates and Johnson have elected to spend time 5,000 miles away from the Capitol.

Mayor Johnson: "Look, there's going to be a half-billion dollars going into our public schools. That's the largest investment from TIF surplus ever in the history of Chicago." Johnson is lying. The $550M TIF surplus won't go to schools. The $500M pays the CTU contract.
