As we continue to confront the devastating realities of the proposed SY26-27 school budgets, I want to remind every member that CPAA’s first and most urgent priority has been fighting to protect Assistant Principals as foundational positions in every school.
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.
Thank you for your support of CPAA! We would like to invite you to join us for our upcoming Gold Coast Gala, celebrating Principals Appreciation Month and the progress we’ve made as the only union representing Chicago school leaders. Tickets cost $65 and may be purchased online at:
True power lies in lifting others up and growing the movement. Hold your arms open, and you create an army of leaders who will carry this work forward.
Since 2020, 11 new union locals have joined the American Federation of School Administrators, which now represents some 25,000 school and district leaders in 150 chapters across the country.
