Did CPS turn off the computers to keep teachers from #occupychicago? UPDATE: Apparently no.
From a reader:
Hello – I just wanted to let you & all of your follwers know that the CPS email system is down. Not the administrators email system or any other administrative portion of their web sites, just the teacher email. It seems like they just shut it off. My username & password are unrecognized completely. I guess they had sent out a notice to principals that there was going to be an interruption this weekend, but remember the Track E schools are on Fall Intersession and many of those teachers & principals are probably not as dilligent at checking their email during this time. In my opinion, this was done on purpose in order to make it impossible for the thousnds of CPS employees to be able to have easy contact with each other concering the protest marches this Monday. I know it’s their site, but come on, chickenshits. Now I’m for sure going to be there to march on their asses.
UPDATE: See reader comments.
