One teacher from every district-run school will head to Springfield on approved release Last week, CPS sent parents a letter about Wednesday's day of action because they say what the state is offering would create a $400 million deficit. The teachers union plans to ask for $1 billion more in funding.Lawmakers say that number is a non-starter.
