Even as CPS opens more new schools, children with special needs have a tougher time finding options. Placements in private therapeutic schools are scarce, and some charters are reluctant to enroll them.

Many of these CPS names are still working--so is the former 2 HS AIO's and a CAO- yet they get a pension- Isn't this illegal to retire and then work as a principal or CAO in CPS when you are paid a CPS pension? they should have to stop their pension if they choose to continue to work for CPS. And Huberman gets rid of teachers because they make too much $.

Sorry to see Olga La Luz, Area 4 leave. She started with minimal support from CPS and started school reform whereby some schools worked on building professional communities in each school and having the teachers pulling together.
