CHICAGO–(ENEWSPF)–December 13, 2011. Tuesday, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is calling for Chicagoans to join them in a vigil to commemorate school closings at 6pm outside the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Central Administration building, 125 S. Clark. They will stay overnight in order to secure speaking tickets for Wednesday’s Chicago Board of Education Meeting, and recommend supporters join them by 4am on the 14th to line up.
The CTU is fighting to keep public schools open, and to stop efforts by the Mayor’s Office to dramatically increase the number of non-union charter schools in the city.
