I’ve built my career by showing up, digging in and putting people first.

CTU President Stacy Davis Gates threatens escalation in a letter sent to CPS Monday, days before a school board vote on a controversial budget amendment.

Doesn’t threaten a strike, but the possibility hangs over the letter. Two weeks ago, CTU gave its last, best and final offer.
