CPS schools’ chief call neighborhood school students “unfortunate.”
What’s up when a top CPS bureaucrat says that students who go to CPS neighborhood schools areunfortunate?
New Schools for Chicago Chief Executive Officer Phyllis Lockett told the Chicago Sun-Times, a student who cannot get into magnet or charter school is “unfortunate” and “relegated to a neighborhood school.” Lockett was speaking at the New Schools Expo that CPS puts on to promote its charter schools.
Sarah Hainds of the Chicago Teachers Union responded in a letter to the paper.
She knows more than anyone how many resources have been drained from the schools on the West Side and South Side of Chicago because of the proliferation and promotion of charter and contract schools.
