Chicago Teachers Union Vice President Ted Dallas spoke forcefully against the Chicago Board of Education's plans to close or reorganize 19 public schools (and end the careers of hundreds of union teachers) during the February hearings on the proposals. Above, Dallas spoke against the closing of Andersen Elementary School (which was changed into a "magnet" school instead of a neighborhood school) at the February 15, 2008 hearing at the Chicago Board of Education's headquarters at 125 S. Clark St. in Chicago. CTU President Marilyn Stewart avoided the hearings, some of which were attended by hundreds of angry teachers, parents, students (and even principals).
