Today over a thousand parents, students, community members and teachers came down to rally at the Chicago Board of Education against upcoming school closures. Under the latest installment of Mayor Daley's Rennaisance 2010 program, 23 public schools are set to be consolidated, phased-our, "Turned-Around", or closed.
The rally came after the public comment portion of today's school board meeting. Board members went into closed session to finalize the list of schools set for closure. A final vote will be taken at the February 25th meeting. There will also be a massive protest on this date.
