I am pleased to announce that CPAA has a new General Counsel to represent the legal and professional interests of our members. As you know, the Law Department, OIG, and CPS, in general, have ramped up their attempts to investigate and discipline principals. I want you to understand the intense work we put into getting the most vigorous representation possible for our members.
After the chaos created by CPS at Lincoln Park High School last week when they removed the principal and assistant principal, several school leaders have reported to CPAA that CPS gave vague and contradictory information to principals regarding sexual misconduct procedures, policies, protocols, and student discipline.
On Monday, something happened that I haven’t seen or heard of since I started working for the district more than 22 years ago. Principals and assistant principals from all parts of Chicago attended a meeting of the Chicago Board of Education to give direct feedback to the Board about the way schools are rated in our district.
