Phillips teacher Martha Idewu (ih-DAY’-woo) said she finds it ironic that Phillips will be re-staffed because at least six times in the past 15 years, Phillips has been the receiving school as the Board of Education attempted a turnaround elsewhere. She said the effect has been “destabilizing” on Phillips.<\/p>\n
\nThe Academy for Urban School Leadership, headed by former Chicago School Finance Authority Chairman Martin Koldyke, will oversee the turnarounds at Curtis, Deneen, Bradwell and Phillips, and intends to spend $1 million a school on the improvement effort.<\/p>\n
\n“As a staff, we would have been able to do phenomenal things” if given that money, Idewu said. \tTeachers and Parents from Phillips and Marshall argued in public comments that the system skims the good students off to magnet schools, then deprives the remaining students of materials and academic assistance they require for success.<\/p>\n
\nStewart promised some form of protest in the wake of the board’s action but wouldn’t specify if that would amount to a physical job action like a walkout, sit-in, or some other form of protest.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
