BOARDWATCH: Chicago Board of Education meeting of January 27, 2016
The Chicago Board of Education held its monthly meeting on January 27, 2016, and by the time the meeting had ended, there were a number of pleasant surprises for parents, teachers and community leaders who had become used to protesting Board actions without positive results. At the same time, when the Board returned from its closed session and voted on both the public and secret items on the agenda, it was clear that most of the Board's direction remained the same: privatization, charter schools, and a constant attack on those who work in the schools.
