“Honorably Terminated” Teachers Organize!

Report by John Kugler

On Tuesday, June 29th, Operation PUSH hosted a meeting for CPS literacy coaches, IDS coaches, and other citywide staff who have been terminated by CPS. Appropriately 100 of these  tenured teachers were denied placement in the reassignment pool because of their citywide status.

I assisted these teachers through the grievance process and submitted their paperwork on June 30th. We are also looking to file lawsuits in several areas depending on the specific circumstances of each termination. We are working with several attorneys.

Another meeting will be held next Tuesday, July 6th at 6:00 PM at PUSH Headquarters. If you were honorably terminated, please attend.
