Dear CPAA Members:
Thank you to all of you who participated in CPAA’s 2019 Triennial Elections, and a special thank you to the members of our 2019 Election Committee. No matter who you supported, we all face similar challenges as school administrators in CPS. It is through CPAA that we can confront those challenges together. We’ve shown the potential of CPAA to bring change over the past three years, and now we must take on new challenges.

President Barack Obama once said, “The way power works at every level — whether it’s the United Nations or in your neighborhood — is, ‘Do you have a community that stands behind what you stand for?’ If you do, you’ll have more power. If you don’t, you won’t.” The work ahead for CPAA is to create a powerful community that stands behind what you stand for: A community that stands behind adequate staffing and funding for your schools; a community that stands behind the equitable treatment of schools and neighborhoods; a community that stands behind a system of compensation that reflects our workload and expertise, and a community that stands behind policies that give us the tools to help realize the potential of every student we serve.

That is the community CPAA must build and it will take all of us working together to bring that community to life. I am honored to be entrusted with another term as your President, and I will do everything I can to build that powerful community with you.

Respectfully,

CPAA 2019-2022 Governing Board
