State barely monitors teachers in Illinois report
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that state officials need not check teacher credentials or track certification rates. Chicago substitutes can stay in a class indefinitely, while outside Chicago limits are set at 90 days. Many districts lack oversight, and 15 percent of Chicago teachers teach on waivers.
