The Chicago public universities, one of the worst big-city school regions in the country, is in turmoil once. President Jianan Shi, one of the seven members of the school board, immediately resigned on Friday, causing an now chaotic situation to completely collapse.

The committee was supposed to be Maytor Brandon Johnson’s sycophants. The Chicago Teacher’s Union’s former union planner thought he had the table in his pocket.
But then, Chicago Public Schools ( CPS) started spending money it did n’t have, creating a$ 1 billion budget shortfall. The committee was aware of this gap but still managed to pass its$ 9 billion budget.
Johnson wants to take out a$ 300 million loan at outrageous interest rates to close that budget gap. Since the instructors have invested in Johnson, they may only be getting started.
The Chicago Teachers Union ( CTU) is negotiating a new contract, which will likely be the city’s most expensive and biggest contract ever. Standing in their approach is the CEO of the class table, Pedro Martinez.
Martinez is against the product concept. He’d more eliminate some of the district’s bloated and fat budgets. The committee is caught in the middle due to the product, which he and Johnson are at a loggerhead with. Johnson wants Martinez fired, but the panel declined to do so.
The college board will have several shifts in January, including expanding the committee to 21 people, 11 chosen by the president. Johnson denies that it is a strength play and fully utilizes the race card.
” This is not about a loan”, Johnson said. It’s about spending money on our kids and not having to wait until after all these years in this region. Guess who loses when we cut institutions? Black and Brown kids. I do n’t want Black and Brown children to lose under my administration. In fact, they’re not going to lose under my leadership. I’m going to struggle for them”.

Using babies to struggle to enslave teachers is about as bad as it gets.
Johnson’s bad relationship with the government’s strong governor J is a part of the issue. B. Pritzker. Johnson wanted to start a massive camp camp over a toxic waste dump during the illegal alien crisis last month. Johnson insisted it was good and tried to blame the government for his own stupidity when the position disputed the site’s refusal to allow human settlement.
The city pleaded with the state to help them with the$ 1 billion budget shortfall over the summer, but Pritzker refused. Payback’s a beatch.
Martinez will be sent shipping as a result of Johnson’s appointment of a completely new table. Martinez is being held accountable by the teachers ‘ union for failing to work with Pritzker to defray more money from the CPS black hole.
In the end, the departures seemed shared, a resource said. Some board people were upset about how the mayor handled the conflict and angry with the position they were being given. The president, however, was faced with the exceptional situation of his own class table and CEO resisting his needs. According to sources, discussions about resignations had been ongoing for months, sometimes prompted by committee members and occasionally by municipal aides.
Although Johnson may eventually prevail in his favor, these widespread resignations are likely to be viewed by many as a rejection of the president’s actions by his own officials, especially after a senior secretary in his company recently claimed that Martinez was the one who “lost the table.” That secretary confidently assured WBEZ and the Sun-Times that the committee was willing to lend.
And it’s an amazing results for this table, which was anticipated to become Johnson’s plastic stamp and has worked hand-in-hand with the mayor to effectively usher in many progressive policy changes ahead of the city’s primary school board elections on November 5.

Mr. Martinez’s supporters argue that Johnson’s resources program is reckless, given the exorbitant interest rate for the product. They and Mr. Martinez view the loan request and the instructors ‘ apparent attempt to extort Martinez as nothing more than a blatant power play.  ,
” The whole Chicago Board of Education getting forced out for refusing to remove a financially responsible C. E. O. during contract negotiations is stunning”, said Bill Conway, a City Council part, adding that the kids “deserve security, not chaos”.
Johnson, who serves until 2027, does n’t do” stability”. He is Mr. Chicago is currently and will be thrown to the ground until one stops him.
