Lanesha Tabb from Education with an Apron approached me last year with the BEST concept ever! On April 14th, myself and a friend attended a town corridor meeting in Montclair to clarify Mr. Perriello’s present place on constitution colleges, standardized testing, and DFER.

Chicagoland Researchers and Advocates for Transformative Schooling (CReATE), a community of over one hundred professors from numerous Chicago-space universities who concentrate on academic research, has reviewed the literature on faculty closures and carried out an evaluation of newly launched knowledge to critically assess Chicago Public Schools arguments to justify faculty closures and to achieve a better understanding of what Chicago residents can expect from large school closures. The history of previous faculty closures and faculty actions reveal that closures negatively impact educational efficiency and create extra hardship for communities already suffering from social abandonment.
