@timmyknudsen43 @jacksonpCTU @ChiPubSchools @CTULocal1 Last but not least: how can we justify harming the city's most vulnerable STUDENTS @ChiPubSchools' New Equity Funding Formula seeks to uplift? More than half of LLA students commute citywide from Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 neighborhoods! Again, please #makeitmakesense

[Kat O'Brien @uknowKatOBrien]

@timmyknudsen43 @jacksonpCTU @ChiPubSchools @CTULocal1 @ChiPubSchools new formula does not consider all core subjects equal, so schools are legit DISPROPORTIONATELY losing their core subject teachers, such as foreign language teachers which are essential to the CPS strategic plan re: Multilingual/Bilingual Ed. #makeitmakesense

Jessica Lange says "so much of the industry now is not about the creative process."

“We’re living in a corporate world, and it certainly has rolled over into the film industry...there are many instances where I feel like the artistic impulse is overwhelmed by the corporate profit motive. You look at some of the best films of the past year — what do they have in common? They’re not from America. My favorite was ‘Anatomy of a Fall.’ How often do we get to see a film like that, where the ambiguity of things is never sewn up?”

Chi Public Sch CEO Pedro Martinez says the district is not giving up trying to return bus service for magnet and selective enrollment schools. "WE are not going to stop until we explore every option."

[Kat O'Brien @uknowKatOBrien]

Please review and reassess LLA so that we are not detrimentally, disproportionately impacted by this decision @PedroCPSCEO @ChiPubSchools @JiananShiCPSBoE Thank you!

[Kat O'Brien @uknowKatOBrien]

Thank you @PedroCPSCEO for noting that you are reviewing outlier schools [impacted by budget] Pls review LaSalle Language Academy! Exceeds criteria 4 consideration per BoE assessments of programs, & disproportionately impacted by the opportunity index overemphasizing location 🧵

FACT: LLA = WORLD LANGUAGE SCHOOL ~50 YEARS
Since 1977, LLA has provided a 🌎class education to generations of Chicagoans. This is our cultural identity, and our commitment to diversity, equitable access to opportunity and inclusive belonging is our soul. #globalcitizens
