News and Advocacy

On Juneteenth, we remember a truth that extends far beyond a single day in history: while freedom was delayed, the pursuit of knowledge never stopped.
TAKE ACTION! Contact your elected school board members (listed by district in the table below) and remind them that YOUR CHILDREN and THEIR SCHOOLS MATTER.
If you need help balancing the books, ask the leaders who manage their own abysmal budgets every year; we continuously find solutions that aren’t this detrimental to our children.

CPAA is an affiliate of the American Federation of School Administrators (AFSA). Representatives from AFSA will be leading seminars aimed at explaining programs and issues that will affect those who are retired or will be retiring in the near future.

The following is a statement from CPAA President Troy LaRaviere regarding the furlough days announced by CPS last week.
