It is important to remember that at previous hearings that the Chicago Board of Education, appointed by Mayor Daly, were not present. Indeed, it has yet to be acknowledged that the board even looked at the massive amount of information presented by passionately concerned community and teachers. Much of the information recorded by the lawyers hired to represent the board was not publicaly available until as late as May, 2008.

Still, it is important that we, the grass roots do not let the efforts of community go to waste. We shall do our own documentation to the extent our resources allow and make it available to the public at large. Please also be aware that the corporate-driven/mainstream coverage of these hearings have been minimal at best.

To more fully understand the privatization-driven motives behind the "school reform" plan of Rennaisance 2010, please look at SubstanceNews.net. Please also refer to CORETeachers.org. Look also for further installments on this website as well as amendments to previous posts as the content of this documentation evolves. Thank you.
