Restructure Chicago's school district leadership
Whittier school occupation shines a light on the problem
Pilsen neighborhood parents are heading into the 22nd day of their occupation of the field house at Whittier Elementary School. The occupation has the mayor and his hand-picked CEO Ron Huberman in a bind. The parents are clearly on just ground in their demand for a library. Whittier is one of 160 CPS elementary schools without a library. Can you imagine public schools in the wealthy, white suburbs without a library?
The demand has resonated in the community and support is building around
