Has your school ever been on probation? On a Turnaround List? Chastised for low test scores? Since 2004 over 70 schools have been closed and nearly 10 percent of all CPS students now attend Charter Schools. In addition over 2000 experienced teachers have lost their job even though charters on average perform worse than traditional neighborhood schools. Your school could be next. Join a committed group of teachers, community activists, parents and students to provide an alternative to the destruction of our school communities. Get involved before the next round of attacks on public education leaves you at risk! This event will be held at Malcom X College, in the 2nd Floor Cafeteria, at 1900 W. Van Buren.
