Groot Finds More Money

For schools that are currently closed and unlikely to open this year:

  • Ventilation and air quality in the vast majority of Chicago Public Schools classrooms have been deemed safe for students and staff after district-wide inspections in recent weeks, officials said this week.

    In an effort to prove its buildings can safely welcome back thousands of people during the ongoing pandemic, the school system said it conducted its own internal examinations of ventilation systems at all 500-plus district run schools and hired an outside, independent inspector to take air quality samples at those facilities.

    [...]

    The district’s chief operating officer, Arnie Rivera, said CPS is spending $8.5 million on 20,000 air purifiers that are expected to go into every classroom.

Anyone want to bet this won't be nearly enough for the CTU to sign off on actually reporting to schools and educating students?

Now that the voting is over, can we put Covid back in it's box for another 3.5 years? I think the scam is getting tired (minks have Covids now?). Time for a fresh scare...or do we dust-off another classic?

Lightfoot just wasted more money. The CTU could care less how much money Lightfoot spends. They are never coming back. They are use to getting everything they want all the time. That’s all they know. They are entitled like no other group in America. They will continue to come up with all kinds of reasons why they can’t return. It will be endless.The CTU hates Lightfoot and will tell her how it’s going to be again. The CTU is the downfall of Chicago’s financial strength. This could be Lightfoot’s best chance to crush the CTU by firing them if they refuse to return to school. A total restructuring of CPS could solve all of Chicago’s financial problems.

Biden said he would eliminate the Trump tax cuts if he won. Well, since he’s probably going to win, that means we are all going to see a tax increase. So that means a bigger chunk of our retro check is going to the federal government when the contract gets settles. That sucks, but at least we can take comfort in the fact he will grant amnesty and citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens, immediately stop construction of the border wall, and usher in increased gas prices after he turns us from the world’s top oil producer back to a dependence on foreign oil.

CTU is a hot mess. The clerks are working in the schools. CTU did not call a strike on the clerk situation. The first thing one learns about a union is that you never open up a contract. Teachers would be pretty dumb to vote to reopen the contract. CTU leadership loves being in the limelight and has aspirations of higher office. It has never been about the teachers or students. Political ambition is an addiction-it over shadows everything. Yet the lemmings follow...

Every city building I ever worked in smelled of mold and had the usual filth and funk that police stations usually smell of. I have no faith the city can muster up the resolve to fix this. It took years of OSHA complaints in one area to get any results. If the city does spend the money, I'm willing to bet that they will buy "portable" air purifier units from some connected vendor, and hire a union electrician to bring one to each classroom and plug it in at union cost. Then a privately contracted custodian (probably with a criminal record) will spray some cheap disinfectant around on a daily basis and mask the moldy smells emanating from the building. The cheap portable units will begin crapping out and never be repaired. They will end up in an unused room in a pile of used and defunct equipment.
Ask me how I know...

It seems that some, who knows how many, teachers are conducting remote classes not only from outside the City of Chicago, but from out of state and some from out of the country. No wonder they do not want to return to the classroom. Wow! 2 hours a day on their computer and the rest of the time a paid vacation. Teachers should be conducting these e-learning from inside the school ! But, CTU is a socialist bully and the mayor is certainly afraid of them. Imagine, an entire year of learning next to nothing and how that will set the kids back ? Well, mayor, time to break up the teacher's unions for they are defending their members way too much. Oh, wait a minute, that is what you are doing to the FOP for exactly the same thing.

What the Democratic gets wrong is that all people, but especially black and brown people, want to achieve the American dream and they want to do it through hard work and not a government handout. Trump galvanized the hispanic vote but he gave it to them straight and they agreed.

Not until the Trojan Horse opens up and Harris and the squad coming walking through will we feel the real sting from this election. Trump is the most popular person on the planet and this con job will propel him to even greater heights.

Half the country didn't buy the systemic racism. Half the country found other ways to get accurate information. Half the country knows what took place. Just like 9/11 "we will never forget."

If you want to know what communism looks like look no further than the Kamala Harris cartoon released on November 2 called equity versus equality. The graphic has two people and two ropes to scale a mountain. The white person is even with the mountain (equality) while the black person is at a 5 feet lower position. He is at a distinct disadvantage. So equity says he needs to be on level ground so when they reach the top they arrive at the same time. Reminds me of the story Harrison Beregeron which is about communism.

I told me son the this analogy so he can grasp the concept. You are the fastest kid in school and you beat everyone. They decide you are too fast and it is unfair so the other kids start with a 10 yard lead. You and the others reach the finish line at the same time because in the end we are all the same. Now replace it with intelligence, sacrifice, work ethic, etc., and this is what we will be implementing soon. Harris warned us before the election so you were warned.

It doesn't matter who you vote for it only matters who counts the votes. Stalin, Mao, Biden

I'll miss you America I wish my kids and grandkids could have experienced it.

I early voted on Oct 28th and did it on computer screen. Had a relative on southeast side, two relatives on southwest side and several north side coworkers say they were all given paper ballots on Election Day and the sharpies bleed thru the ballot. All said it looked like the paper almost broke were the sharpie was used. None of them voted for every office like Water Reclamation and were told their ballot was an under count when feed into machine. That happens every time I vote.

Teachers should be conducting these e-learning from inside the school ! But, CTU is a socialist bully and the mayor is certainly afraid of them. Imagine, an entire year of learning next to nothing and how that will set the kids back ? Well, mayor, time to break up the teacher's unions for they are defending their members way too much. Oh, wait a minute, that is what you are doing to the FOP for exactly the same thing.

Why are we all still working our RDOs? Nothing is going on. I guess they just want to spend millions more for no reason on officers sitting on buses just in case something Changes. I am in DOG 65 / my last day off was 25 October so I am now on my 11th day in a row. The 7 day premium pay used to be unheard of. Now it’s every couple of weeks. This place is a rudderless ship. The only solution is “cancel all RDOs” no planning.

Same at South shore for training, po's came ARE SICK, tested positive for covid and no deep cleaning was done, no quarantining, and training continues with no regard for the health or well being of police officers.... everyone social distance, stay at home , dont come to work if you feel sick or test positive, BUT IF YOU'RE THE POLICE....

Once again, the FOP should take on the teachers. Right now is the time to demand a vouchers. Your tax for your child's education should follow the child not the school district. Your tax voucher for your child's education should be able to be used at any school in the district public or private as long as they are certified program. The teachers are not providing adequate education and many of the private schools are back in school. Also, with all the animosity towards the police your children may be in jeapordy. Could they be targeted by other students or hostile towards the child because of his parents education. Something to think about. JCat you want to ruffle feathers find out how much officers pay in property tax towards Board of Education you have all the members information and poll membership to determine if a political push for vouchers is a viable option.

Thank God my day off is cancelled so that the community safety teams can do narcotics surveillance in my district and lock up a juvenile for a couple of baggies. It only took about 8 of them to lock up one kid. Great job! You must be proud.

Just a few facts regarding the CPS:

Budget is $5.89 Billion
Number of schools 655
Teachers 21,929
Principals 515
Total employees 38,571
Students 370,943 90% minority students
Student/teacher ratio: 18:1
Per student spending $15,710
Average teacher salary $78,211 (Highest in U.S.)(without benefits)
Reading scores 22% down from 75% in 2010
Math scores 23% Down from 70% in 2010.
Is the city of Chicago getting what it pays for with reading and math scores? I don't think so. The graduation rate is 77%. Not sure how that happens with the low test scores.

With no one in the schools and approx. 30% of the students signing in for remote learning.
Monumental waste of time. "It's all for the children" because the CPS Union use them for shorter work weeks, higher salaries and anything else they can sell the mayor and citizens. Highest salaries and lowest test scores and more on street violence. No 12 hour days, cancelled days off and changing shifts. Just collect the money on a full year vacation.

The Pandemic is over as of Tuesday Night. My friends who are CPS teachers said the push is on to stay on-line until after Spring Break 2021. Bet big $$ that it extends to June 2021.

Big fan of Officer Tatum (Youtube) and he unloads both barrels and he calls out all the frauds of the Democratic party. He is a true patriot and he is leading a rally on the voting fraud conducted in Arizona. We need to get fired up like this or we won't have any rights in the future.

Lightfoot wasted all that money!! The air tests at CPS are invalid, virtually worthless. They were conducted on empty, unoccupied buildings. No Covid-19 in an empty building tells nothing about what happens when people sick but no symptoms are around other people all day. A super-spreader could infect dozens or even hundreds of kids who unknowingly infect parents and grandparents.

12:21 PM: Thanks for reading the blog, kid.
You'll learn better vocabulary words here than in your school.
You'll also learn how the world really works. They sugar-coat
life experiences in the schools. It's a case of the haves and
the have nots. The teachers have the money and the kids
are by and large poor. They preach that if you follow what
they say, you too can grow to be successful like they are.
They leave one important thing out. They are ALL crooked
union members. Their salary and benefit package are
artificially inflated. Many members are also unfit to teach
children, as evidenced by personal social media posts
brought to light here. Study hard and believe in a Higher Power.

"What the Democratic gets wrong is that all people, but especially black and brown people, want to achieve the American dream and they want to do it through hard work and not a government handout."

If that were actually true, we wouldn't have many problems.

Given the contracting procedures that exist for any city building project it is doubtful that the ventilation systems in any school building are adequate to remove covid droplets from the highly recirculated air. Probably at best all it can do is turn the droplets into aerosols and make the situation worse. Putting air filters in the classroom is probably about the best you can do to reduce the chance of serious outbreaks of the disease.

Given how infectious this disease is it's almost inevitable that if it takes hold in any building you're not going to be able to stop it very easily short of emptying the building for a couple of weeks and quarantining those who have the disease or have been exposed.

On the other hand most people that get the disease get a very mild case, or don't even know they have it.

It's a pretty good bet that many of the parents of CPS students are not going to follow the rules that would otherwise protect people from the disease.

I can't say I really blame the teachers for not wanting to go back to that kind of situation. Many of them are at risk, while the children aren't much at risk. But the children can still spread the disease to the teachers and staff.

I don't think there's a good answer to this problem. My personal opinion is the best thing you can do is have a mixture of in-person and remote learning, with a heavy emphasis on the remote learning. That way you can reduce the risk as much as you can.

All these "expert surveys of ventilation".... it's gonna be 70 here, did anyone ever OPEN THE GOD-DAMNED WINDOWS?

No. Probably a lot of covid fatalities can be attributed to the deep-seated cultural bias of predominant nursing-home staffs against open windows. "Too much A on me! Too much A on me!" is the cry. Great way to fight a respiratory virus...

Opening the bedroom window "for health" and sleeping under a warm duvet is a Western European thing.

...and we are on approx. Day 233 of the Total Lockdown, important to take away outside access so that even the sane and ambulatory die in there.

I have heard a few squeaks about shortwave germicidal ultraviolet lights - viruses hate sunshine/UV.

Uh...I saw these lights in Catholic grade schools, probably put in during mid-50s polio time. The teacher switched these on on her way out of the room at the end of class, soaked empty classroom real good.

"Those cost money" which is why CPS will get $500,000 Vanecko Specials and nursing homes won't have any...

$8.5M for "air purifiers" (fans); $10M for bars and restaurants, averaging out to about $1,000 each. Most places can't even cover a single day of payroll with a grand.

Vouchers your tax money following your child to a school of your choice the only way to get better teaching. Board of Ed. And CTU would have to compete with private and parochial schools for tax dollars. Right now your tax dollars are dedicated to the Board of Ed. If you think that is the way you want ypur tax dollars spent thats OK. But I am sure if manyj were given the choice and could get a break.on private school tuition they would support vouchers.
