Yesterday, they had an interaction with Speaker Chris Welch, and he said, ‘I have your back.’ And then some reporter went to the Senate President, and he says the same thing. I’ve done this every year as an employee of the Chicago Teachers Union since 2011. The Speaker said he was taking the lead in sending more state money to Chicago Public Schools during veto session. The Senate President looks forward to working with our allies and partners to identify resources, and he shared this with the IFT executive board earlier this week.
