Notes on Chicago teacher compensation
Teachers in Chicago are the best paid in the nation while delivering some of the worst results in the nation.
Any responsible pushback on their extravagant demands is met with hysterical shrieks of racism or “dismantling public education.”
They share no sense of responsibility for Chicago’s dire financial condition and would happily tip the city into insolvency to line their already well-lined pockets even further.
CTU under CORE’s disastrous leadership is the most destructive force in Chicago.

The Chicago Board of Education postponed a controversial budget amendment pushed by Mayor Brandon Johnson Thursday, prolonging doubt about who will pay for a new teachers contract and a $175 million pension payment to the city.
That means the latter’s cost remains on the city’s side. The city has until the end of this month to either resolve the budget gap or end the 2024 fiscal year with a deficit.
