The [Wednesday] Papers
My laptop is back. I'm readjusting.

Here's some reporting from today's Board of Ed meeting. Read it and weep.
Very odd that @ClaypoolCPS says budget doesn't harm c/rsm. See the red here? pic.twitter.com/klQ8Z2Uef4

Here's some elementary red- these are cuts @ClaypoolCPS. Why say this isn't happening? pic.twitter.com/3mzCI0J2rz

#CPSboard Frank Clark only asks questions that make CPS look good. This time: Please repeat those good test score results.

Rules are for principals and teachers we want to fire.
Note: CPS is required by state law to release capital plan by May 1 ever year. Officials have been skirting that rule... #cpsboard

How much from the tooth fairy?
Claypool still contends budget is balanced. It depends on $215M from state and $31M from CTU. Neither funds yet secure.

We're right here, Forrest. We can see the charts.
Claypool says CPS closed deficit "without harming classrooms"... #cpsboard

Clark, #cpsboard pres, asks "Will children be safe when school starts?" prefaced by "I know the answer, but i want you to tell the public"
— WBEZeducation (@WBEZeducation) August 24, 2016

Clark "I agree there's a credibility gap." Laughter from audience. "Ok, let's proceed."
— Lauren FitzPatrick (@bylaurenfitz) August 24, 2016

Clark is working hard to silence critics who've signed up, taken time off work or found childcare to speak for just 2 minutes to #CPSboard.
— Lauren FitzPatrick (@bylaurenfitz) August 24, 2016

Clark reminds audience (haven't spoken yet, but he's assuming they'll talk about TIF) that TIF is a one-time revenue source. #cpsboard

... unlike one-time solutions like $215M pension help from Springfield...

You could say the same for Rahm's property tax rebate.
Avg Chicago homeowner paying an extra $245 this year on a $250K house. Here's another Clark Q: $245 = how much per day? $.67.

It's that time when people ask #CPSBoard members questions and they say nothing.

In luxury, believe me.
Speaker says Claypool's continued claim of no cuts to classrooms is wrong. "It's hard to imagine how you sleep at night" she says. #cpsboard

Chicago Tribune website is getting really Sun-Timesy. I get about 30 seconds to read a story before it freezes my entire computer.
