## Summary

Strongly condemns the Chicago Teachers Union's proposed "Day of Civic Action", which is to be held on May 1, 2026, as an irresponsible misuse of the school day that places a public sector union's political priorities ahead of the educational needs of Chicago's children. Urges the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools to abandon this politicized event and instead dedicate every available school day to raising proficiency in the "three R's" of reading, writing, and arithmetic so that every child in Chicago receives the basic education they deserve. Calls upon the Governor, the General Assembly, and officials of the Illinois State Board of Education to reject any further billions in new state funding for Chicago Public Schools until the district demonstrates measurable, sustained improvement in the three R's and stops diverting instructional time for political activism.
