#FullyFundCPS. “Students exposed to additional funding during elementary school were less likely to be arrested in adulthood ... The social benefits of increasing school funding are greater than the costs, even when considering only the crime-reducing benefits.” @ChiPubSchools

It was an honor to share how we’re expanding access to advanced coursework for @ChiPubSchools students alongside my @TheVirtualAcad colleagues yesterday at the @CollegeBoard’s “A Dream Deferred” conference

At today's PD, Dr. @LewisHsu1, Pediatric Sickle Cell Program Director and Professor, and Nurse Mallard from @thisisUIC, helped our @TheVirtualAcad staff understand how Sickle Cell Disease appears in young people and how we can best support them.

Thanks for inspiring the student focus group questions @ShaneSafir #StreetData #ListeningLeader

At today’s PD, we shared quotes with our staff from recent student focus groups. I’m so proud of the caring and supportive school community we’ve created at @TheVirtualAcad

@tessammy73 @ChiPubSchools @CTULocal1 @ILRaiseYourHand @W_Bevis @SSKedreporter I would be happy to help. Please send me your name and contact info: scfuess@cps.edu

@co_99999 @DoaCata1 The application process is managed by CPS’s OSHW. They could speak in greater detail. A process for mid-year transfers is being developed. Our admin team is focused on ensuring we’re ready to meet our new students’ needs on day 1. Do you have a child in the virtual academy?

Tonight, CPS virtual academy hosted a parent meeting. So many out of touch answers. -“just get a hotspot or plan b for internet” No tactile or printed material for students who need it. “Get a printer”. CPS didn’t learn one thing from the past year and a half.

Viper staff is preparing to open the school by collaboratively establishing our shared beliefs. #viperpower
