The CPS scheduled 18 school closings hearings to take place before the Board votes on whether or not to close, consolidate, turnaround or phase out the 14 schools on their hit list.
Last year, CORE attended every single one of the hearings. Many of these hearings were documented here. This year, we will be hosting the blog on this website.
It is crucial that we, the taxpayers of the city of Chicago, attend these meetings and have our voices heard.
Schedule for hearings at 125 S. Clark St.
