Celebrating Union members for their years of service to the students and families of D128! We were decked out in 🧡 and 💙 for Back to School festivities.

🧡💙🔗 It is clear that former Superintendent Dr. Denise Herrmann wasn't the right fit for our district, and that educators, parents, taxpayers, and even students agreed.

We appreciate that the School Board considered our input and made the correct decision to make a much-needed change in D128 leadership.

🍎 We are looking ahead to August and focusing on educating every student!

➡️ Here is our opportunity to move forward in a thoughtful and collaborative way with the School Board to ensure we are meeting the diverse needs of all the students, parents, teachers, and school staff.

🍎 Since we stood up for the students, parents and taxpayers of @chsd128 and declared NO CONFIDENCE in Superintendent Dr. Denise Herrmann, our Union has not been silent.
💙 We filled a new grievance today related to the district's MTSS "plan," which laid off classroom teachers but relies on non-certified teachers to do teaching work they call tutoring. This is an unfair labor practice that we have fought since March.
🧡 Union leaders will meet at 4:30 pm today in closed session with School Board members. We have requested Dr. Herrmann not be present. We will also address the Board in public comments at 5:30 pm. In the Libertyville High School library.

We also want to call attention to som

💙🧡🔗 We also want to call attention to something 😬 *awkward!* (as our students would say):
🪩 @d128foundation funded a $2500 grant to "Light Up the Dance Floor," an inventive collaboration between 4 Vernon Hills High School classes that would have designed, coded, sewn, and modeled electronically controlled and lighted dance costumes.
⚠️ But the project is in jeopardy because Admin decided to cancel Style Studio and Dance III.
💙🧡🔗 Our Union continues to appeal such short-sighted class decisions. We advocate for our students and their success!
