  • Tim Cawley, until his recent appointment as CPS Chief Administrative Officer, was a managing director of the Academy of Urban School Leadership (AUSL), the organization the Board wants to take over Turnaround schools? 
  • Many of the Board members donate tens of thousands of dollars to political organizations?
  • Only one Board member has classroom experience?

For more details about the background of the members of the Board of education, as well as the history of AUSL and CPS Turnarounds, download this research brief produced by the CTU Quest Center. 

The Quest Center has also compiled this table on teacher demographics at schools slated for "action" as well as this map showing the relationship between school actions and forclosures and this map that shows the relationship between school actions and African American population.
