Puppets Being Installed

So Conehead's handpicked School Board voted to fire the CEO of the schools:

• The Board of Education voted unanimously to fire Chicago Public Schools CEO Pedro Martinez during an extraordinary special meeting Friday night after a monthslong leadership struggle with Mayor Brandon Johnson that has engulfed the school district.

  The saga doesn’t appear headed for an immediate resolution, however, after Martinez filed a lawsuit against the Board of Education and all seven of its members hours before the meeting. He asked for a temporary restraining order to prevent the board from taking action Friday, but there wasn’t enough time to get in front of a judge before the meeting.

  Martinez’s 44-page lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court alleged the board, and its individual members, breached his contract.
  

A number of legal experts think Martinez can win. Discovery depositions are going to be amusing as the internal communications between CTU leadership and Conehead are going to be exposed and CEO Martinez would be entitled to damages.

Meanwhile, taxpayers are about to lose on numerous fronts as the new puppets will try for that "short term high interest" loan to cover a new CPS contract along with the massive property tax hike the schools are going to stick in everyone's asses.
