This is a blog to show the faces of teachers and staff affected by the Chicago Public School layoffs in 2013. According to the Raise Your Hand budget tracker, cuts are "totaling over $94 million"*
These are the people who dedicate their lives to educating our city's children, only to be laid off while public money is funneled elsewhere. We honor these people for all that they do for our public school students. We need them and want them back.
If you are a teacher/staff member who has been laid off from CPS, please submit your photo, position, school, years of service, and a statement (why you teach, how you teach, praise from colleagues/students, etc) to:
chiteacherpower@gmail.com
You will then be included in this blog. Together we will put a face on this travesty of the layoffs.
