Everybody in Chicago wants a *theoretical* neighborhood high school. Nobody wants the one they've already got.
At the hearing to extend the boundary of the new South Loop HS to include the Bronzeville Gap area. Cps official says even with guaranteeing more students seats the school, opening in fall 2019, will not be overcrowded.
“There is no doubt that closing a Level 1+ school is going to cause unnecessary educational harm to these kids,” said attorney Candace Moore of Chicago Lawyers’ Committee. “That heavy burden will fall primarily on the shoulders of Black students.” clccrul.org/media-press-1/…
“Only 31 percent of the students who will allegedly benefit from this new high school are African-American, while 78 percent of those displaced or otherwise adversely impacted are African-American.” chicagotonight.wttw.com/2018/08/01/nta…
Why did the mayor opt to close @WeAreNTA, a Level 1+ K-8 school w/ mostly minority low income students? School closures harm student achievement. CPS should engage stakeholders, consider alternatives & address South Loop’s need for a public high school. bit.ly/2K7h1r6

We all live here is a movement that has been quickly spreading around Chicago. Our school is lucky enough to be... fb.me/1RRGEASUJ
NTA parent says "We've never had a seat at the table... we've never been truly listened to." Asks board to delay the vote. "No matter what you vote, we're not going away." #cpsboard
This is the thanks teachers get for taking everything @ChiPubSchools has thrown at them and making it shine. Level 3 to level 1+, and now they are "on their own". This is a shameful day. #weareNTA
BREAKING: @ChiPubSchools has informed teachers at @WeAreNTA this morning that they do not have secure employment after next year. This directly contradicts the recommendations on how to best transition NTA students that were submitted by @ChiPubSchools contractor @westat
