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/…

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

Chicago kids aren't just walking out to end gun violence in general — they're naming names of friends who've been killed by guns.

Several NTA students, some of whom live in affordable or public housing, said they feel @ChiPubSchools is giving up their top-rated, well-attended majority-black school for the benefit of wealthier South Loop families. More on latest #CPS school closings: bit.ly/2oHH6jW

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

Yes. Such a simple question that never gets answered. Take note of the questions they avoid answering. They know the answers are shameful or insufficient
