CPS to parents: Best to make your own plans for April 1 walkout

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

In the wake of a Chicago Teachers Union vote to strike on April 1, Chicago Public Schools officials announced they’ll have at least 250 sites open citywide for children that day — but advised parents to make their own plans.

“We ask that if parents have another option that they exercise that option,” chief education officer Janice Jackson said. “However, we know that it’s our responsibility to make sure there’s a place that provides a safe and orderly environment.”

The great moments of public education.
