Chicago Parents for Quality Education
On Monday, April 9th, 2012, several groups across the city held a press conference at city hall to announce the formation of a new coalition: Chicago Parents for Quality Education. They presented a briefing to the mayor's office; this white paper contains information that refutes CPS claims of the effectiveness of a 7.5 hour day. The mayor has yet to contact the Coalition to set up a meeting.
The 19th Ward Parents organization is a member of this coalition.
