Dear CPS Parent/Guardian, Please join me for a “teleforum” discussion this Thursday, Nov. 17, at 6:10 p.m. This is the first of what I hope to be many opportunities for me to talk with you about what CPS is doing to drive the academic achievement of your children and to hear your feedback. We want to make sure we are being as inclusive, responsive and transparent with you in our efforts as possible, and having these discussions with you on an ongoing basis will help us accomplish that. To access the teleforum on Thursday, please call 1-877-229-8493 toll-free from any phone, and, when prompted, enter the access code 18528. I hope you will be able to participate. Thank you for engaging in the discussion and for the invaluable role you play in the success of your child and of the district as a whole. Sincerely, Jean-Claude Brizard Chicago Public Schools | CEO
