Kenwood PTSA seeks answers on Board of Ed spending
About 50 Kenwood HS PTSA members demanded explanations for rising administrative costs at the Chicago Board of Education and for offices open year round while school funds for teacher salaries and supplies shrink. They planned to join a teachers picket at 228 S LaSalle, as CTU leaders blasted negotiations as stalled amid unspent funds. Union calls for shorter school year, smaller class sizes, higher salaries, and more teacher prep time, with cross-picket line penalties and local student concerns over lost time and fund-raisers.
