Memo to: U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan

Dear Mr. Secretary,

We've often heard you talk fondly about your days as CEO of the Chicago Public Schools. You may have heard that the schools face a huge budget crisis. You want to do something good for the schools and set an example for everyone who works there?

Write a check for $50,297.

Make it out to Chicago Public Schools. On the memo line put "Re: unearned pay."
