Chicago Teachers Union confronts the Chicago Board of Education with blistering report outlining the fraud, mismanagement and waste in the Board's many outsourcing programs...
Chicago Teachers Union researcher Sarah Hainds speaks to the Chicago Board of Education during the Board's August 24, 2016 meeting. The Board members did not comment or ask Hainds any questions despite the fact that the CTU had issued a major report showing the hypocritical history of deliberate fraud, mismanagement and media manipulation in the Board's massive outsourcing of services over the past two decades. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.The Chicago Teachers Union issued a blistering report critical of the Chicago Board of Education's massive outsourcing of services to private corporations, briefly speaking about the report at the Board's August 24, 2016 meeting. Board members ignored the report and the speaker, CTU researcher Sarah Hainds, during the August 24 meeting, and then went on to approve their controversial 2016 - 2017 budget and obfuscate their finances at press conferences and private press sidebars before, during and after the August 24 meeting. Although the Board's talking points became the major "news" stories on August 24 and August 25, even reporters who are edited to provide Board friends news noted that the CTU history and analysis are devastating.
