LIVE: 20th Ward Alderwoman Jeanette Taylor moderates our Parents as First Teachers CTU Black history forum as we uplift the work of Black parents and educators, discuss the challenges Black families faced long before the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged our communities, and think forward to recovery.
Educators at Passages Charter School braved the cold today in refusing the unsafe return-to-building order from Asian Human Services management. Passages teachers and staff are demanding AHS puts safety provisions in writing and ensures a safe return for students and staff.
Join educators and youth leaders tomorrow and next week for this important conversation on how the school-to-prison pipeline decimates Black and Brown futures, and what we can all do to foster a culture of tolerance and inclusion in our schools.
In a dangerous reversal, Asian Human Services, the company that manages Passages Charter School, is breaking its promise to guarantee safety protections for students, vulnerable family members and educators.
