Video: Linda Chapa LaVia on ed reform
Linda Chapa LaVia is the sponsor of the Consolidation Bill but here she talks about the School Reform Bill that has passed the House and Senate this week.
Senate Bill 7 SCHOOL REFORM Notes from ED RED (Sen. Lightford, D-Maywood; Speaker Madigan, D-Chicago) includes the education reform legislation, including streamlining teacher dismissal processes, using performance evaluation ratings as part of RIF/recall/placement and tenure decisions, and adding additional steps in the collective bargaining process prior to a strike. It was expected that the bill would be amended in the House to include additional issues; however, the bill passed the House intact. The Chicago Teachers Union raised concerns about two changes relative to the Chicago Public Schools; CTU and CPS are working through language to address these concerns. These changes may appear in a “trailer” bill later in session. SB 7 passed both chambers. ED- RED supports the bill.
