Get on the TSJ Bus March 1!

Springfield Rally and Lobby Day for ERSB

On February 17, the Illinois House Education Committee passed by a vote of 15 - 9 (along party lines) the bill for the Elected Representative School Board (now HB 557, formerly HB 4268). The next step is that the full House has to pass it-we have 60 pledged "yes" votes (enough to pass the bill), BUT we want to make SURE that the vote occurs before the March 15primaries. The February 18th Springfield Rally Day was cancelled because the Legislature took the day off!, so we have RESCHEDULED to MARCH 1.

Sign up to get on the TSJ bus to join hundreds of other parents, teachers, community members, and students in Springfield, Tuesday, March 1, to let legislators know we want an elected representative school board in Chicago-now!! We will have a rally in the capital and talk to legislators.

The time is now! This is our alternative to Rauner's state proposal to take over our schools, and Rahm's racist corporate agenda to break the CTU, cut resources to neighborhood schools, and privatize. When parents and grandparents have to go on a 34 day hunger strike to get a quality neighborhood high school (Dyett HS), it's time for an elected school board that represents the people who actually attend and teach in CPS schools.

* Space is limited!! Reserve your spot on the TSJ bus TODAY! Fill out the form here! And please-we want to accommodate everyone who can go, so please do not commit unless you are sure that you can make it (to the best of your knowledge, of course!).
