In a 2019 survey, over 97% of CPAA members supported collective bargaining rights for CPS administrators, so we got to work. Senate Bill 3803--written by CPAA to extend collective bargaining rights to Chicago's school leaders--was officially filed in the Illinois State Senate this week by Senator Robert Martwick.
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.
