The Court ruled on May 23, 2019. There are only a few open issues now. 

Read the ruling here >>>

• The Judge ruled that the LSC lacked standing in this lawsuit. Therefore, all LSC members were removed from the lawsuit *with* prejudice.
  
• Counts 1 and 2 dismissed as moot.
  
• "Plaintiff's argument smacks of bad faith." pp. 21

Counts 4, 5 and 6 were dismissed *with* prejudice. These related to the pre-suspension hearings being lawful.

• Count 3 stands. The Board can now answer this Count. This one deals with whistle-blowing.
• Mr. Beyer may wish to try and re-file a Count 7.

The issue of pay and when the suspension starts will be orally argued on May 31, 2019.

The Judge seemed not very impressed with either sides' legal work but did a great deal of her own legal work on this case.

No parent wants this letter - "Notification of Unauthorized Student Information Disclosure". Yet another one was sent out this week to an ex-Ogden parent. 

Parents are also busy requesting their student records and finding unsavory memories. 

​FOIA is a legal process CPS parents can use to enlighten themselves on what is going on at your school or within the CPS C-Suite. Well, until you can’t get the information, no matter the law. 


As we all know, it’s the Wild West at CPS, there isn’t a process for much of anything. So, the CPS Legal Eagles are in charge of the CPS FOIA Department. The Legal Eagles keep a watchful eye over FOIA.

Well, until they don’t watch. That is what happened with the multiple Ogden/Michael Beyer/Kranz data breach. It was released because Joe Moriarty and his FOIA team weren’t paying attention and released the link that included student data.

Attached is a motion from an Ogden LSC member voluntarily removing herself off the  Michael Beyer vs. CPS lawsuit. 

“Voluntarily” is the key word here. I don’t think it was “voluntarily” for her to resign. 

The community wanted to know, what did administration think of the Ogden Jenner merger and how it would work? So we looked through emails released by CPS' Freedom of Information Act office.

​This is part of Michael Beyer's conversation with some parents about the potential name change from Ogden to Ogden-Jenner. 

This is what Ogden Administration and some parent volunteers thought about the Ogden-Jenner name change >>>
