Retreat

Did the resignation of 16 members of the CPS advisory committee for Latino students, who were protesting draconian cuts to largely Latino school students, have any impact on the system refunding monies to these schools? Well, it's hard to tell but, there likely would have been little movement to restore these funds without these resignations and the attendant alarm raised by many.

As I write this blog the CPS brass isn't sure where the restoration of $15 million - from the original freeze on budgets - will come from. One thing is a certainty, when voices of concern are rasied and heard change can take place. Let's hope, for the sake of the children, that the money is found.
