The Chicago Board of Education has signed off on the plan, which would fund school modernization.

Dyett High School hunger striker Jeanette Ramann collapsed leaving the Board of Education meeting.

The hunger strikers took their protests to Little Black Pearl Art and Design Academy.

"We're all fighting for scraps," said Hearst Elementary teacher Rachel Davies.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel also named Frank Clark to replace David Vitale as head of the Board of Education.

Neighborhood schools will see $60 million in cuts, while charter schools see $30 million in gains.

One teacher said Mayor Rahm Emanuel "is deeply embedded in Novocaine" and "doesn't feel the pain."

CPS says the layoffs are due to "enrollment declines," claims fewest end-of-year teacher cuts in years.
