Fourteen public schools to close after this year

Education No Comments »

Yesterday the Tribune reported that another round of school closings will hit Chicago Public Schools after this year, with four schools being shuttered outright, four being consolidated with other schools, one no longer accepting new students, and five being “turned around” by the Academy of Urban School Leadership or CPS’s Office of School Turnaround. We’ve put together a Google Map to help visualize the geographic distribution of the schools to be closed. As the map shows, the fourteen schools are mostly located on the South Side, with only three on the West Side and two on the North Side. Public schools blog District 299 has the full 54-page CPS presentation on the closings.
