After silence for four years the Chicago Teachers Union has finally responded to members’ demands to see an audit.
Teachers have made 14+ formal requests to see an audit since 2019.
The union never responded.
Until now.
Kurt Hilgendorf, special assistant to CTU president @stacydavisgates and head of union finances, posted a statement in a private Facebook group.
He blamed “complex litigation” regarding pensions as the reason CTU leadership has denied member requests to see an audit. And now says the audits will appear in “several weeks.”
It’s important to note that Hilgendorf has no fiduciary duty to the union. He’s a political hire — not a CPA.
