@WBEZeducation @SSKedreporter @MilaKoumpilova @chalkbeatCHI CPS has made it simpler for students to make up missed work and stopped failing students for poor attendance, easing the way to graduation.

Public media (with coffee in hand) tries every day to break through the noise to bring you news that helps you make sense of the world, build connections in your community and, even on the toughest news day, find a little joy. @WBEZ #mugsupforpublicmedia

Control over curriculum, teacher planning time and teacher evaluations are major sticking points nine months into talks between the CTU and the school district.

@WBEZeducation @SSKedreporter @NaderDIssa @WBEZ The mayor says board members will step down by the end of Oct. This clears the way for him to appoint a new board that will follow his orders — fire the schools CEO, make a contract deal with the CTU and take a loan to cover a city pension payment and the teachers’ contract.

Nearly half of all Chicago public schools have only one arts teacher and some of those are not filled yet. Everyone wants more -- but how do you make it happen? @SSKedreporter @WBEZ @chiartshs https://t.co/fFgKZkASG7

Grateful to everyone at the State Dept for their work to make this day happen.

Want to know how many kids from your CPS elementary school get into a selective enrollment high school? @wbez has a look-up tool. https://t.co/CTExQMnxy7

[WBEZeducation @WBEZeducation]

Interesting finding from @SSKedreporter's reporting on CPS selective high schools: The racial and socioeconomic backgrounds of students in CPS’ 11 test-in schools are more reflective of the overall district than test-in schools in many other cities. https://t.co/svkRNfXNm1
