student teaching.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Since we are not meeting until 9/2, I am writing to ask how you would like to handle this. I am certainly willing to have the NEIU attorney give CPS a call and see if we can buy some time. We could ask for a meeting with Barbara Byrd-Bennett.

<p class="MsoNormal">The last time the contract has so many issues in it, many of you will recall that this galvanized us and we met with Arne Duncan. Let me know what you think as time is very short. I have been negligent in reading it carefully but plan
