Dan Coyne is going to a pre-termination on Thursday, October 16 because he lives outside of Chicago. We urge Barbara Bird Bennett to keep him as he was given a life time waiver in 2010 by a former CEO, Ron Huberman.
Why is this important?
Dan Coyne gave a kidney to a person he casually knew and the story became a national news story. Chicago Public Schools found out he lived outside of the city, and they started procedures to fire him. Public pressure made them rescind the firing and gave him a life time waiver to not move into Chicago in 2010. Now, Barbara Bird Bennett said 'rules are rules' and reneged the waiver. He is a wonderful social worker and is needed to help families in Chicago.
