Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez is back at the bargaining table Thursday, after a major legal win earlier this week. It all comes days after his firing by the school board without reason.
Christian PiekosFired CPS CEO Pedro Martinez is back at the bargaining table with the Chicago Teachers Union Thursday, after a legal win Tuesday.
The ruling bars Mayor Brandon Johnson's handpicked school board, who voted to fire Martinez last Friday, from the bargaining table with CTU, unless otherwise invited by the CEO himself. While the CEO made progress in court on Tuesday, the CTU shared information about bargaining progress it made, including fighting for smaller class sizes, adding libraries and librarians and expanding public school sports and arts programs.
The court battle comes from an ongoing fight between Martinez and Mayor Johnson, after the CEO refused to take out a loan to pay for the teachers' contract.
