reposting some of my old work for these left-wing cyber terrorits stalking our pages that say that we are right-wing … only targeting Brandon Johnson and not a news agency … yet no matter what those fake profiles say the same people are in power and continue to harm the children of our city … right-wing and left-wing are two sides of the same bird … HiHo

“That’s the risk you take working for CPS,” someone from the Central Office stated. (5/19/16)

The conditions in the Chicago Public Schools are deteriorating rapidly and the working conditions for teachers are beyond dangerous. In more frequency, staff is refusing to travel to more dangerous schools that have chronic health and safety issues. District safety is under the direct supervision of Jadine Chou Chief of Safety and Security, a crony hire with no experience in public education.
One staff member, on condition of anonymity, exclaimed:
Enough is enough, I am glad there is less than three weeks of school left. It’s too risky going to work. It’s getting hot and dangerous in these schools.
All this on the heals of 500,000,000 spending passed May 25, 2016 for privatization deals and union busting schemes by Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s appointed Board of Education.
The person now responsible for Chicago schools safety and security, Jadine Chou, was cited in 2013 by the Illinois Attorney General in a binding Opinion for hiding safety documents from the public.
The FOIA request was in response to the Sandy Hook school massacre:
On December 19, 2012, Dr. John Kugler submitted a FOIA request to CPS seeking information regarding CPS’s emergency management plans.
The facts are undisputed that CPS did not either comply with Dr. Kugler’s request, extend the time for response pursuant to section 3(e) of FOIA (5 ILCS 140/3(e) (West 2010)), or deny the request within 5 business days after December 19, 2012, the date of CPS’s receipt of the request. CPS’s failure to comply with the requisite procedures constitutes a denial of the request.
Therefore, it is the opinion of the Attorney General that CPS has violated sections 3 (d) and 9(a) of FOIA by improperly denying Dr. Kugler’s request for public records. Accordingly, CPS is hereby directed to take immediate and appropriate action to comply with this opinion by providing Dr. Kugler with all responsive records.
STOP HERE IF YOU ARE EATING YOUR LUNCH
This is the second time we’ve had sewage back up. CPS sent out a plumber to fix the “problem”. As you can see this happened during yesterday’s rain. Privatized custodians left the mess for our one CPS janitor and engineer we share with another school is scrambling to clean mess up with only a broom and a vacuum cleaner. (5/26/16)
The following pictures are of human waste on the floors in a grammar school on the south-side of Chicago during the day while students were in the building.

They then informed me that they had to leave to address a stabbing incident at Heffernan Elementary. I made a call to CPS offices to seek guidance and assistance, was transferred to many departments throughout my call, and given zero direction or guidance. I even had someone state, “That’s the risk you take working for CPS.”
