Chicago Teachers Union members are taking to the streets to demand action from state lawmakers on a pressing issue: school funding. In a show of solidarity, the union is calling for a special legislative session to address the chronic underfunding of Illinois schools. The union argues that the state's current education funding formula is woefully inadequate, leaving many schools struggling to make ends meet. As the Chicago Public Schools system continues to face significant budget constraints, union leaders are urging Governor J.B. Pritzker and state lawmakers to take immediate action to provide much-needed relief to Illinois schools.
