Time again for another edition of Cheat Sheet – your quick and dirty guide to Chicago’s monthly school board meetings. If you were anywhere in the Loop Wednesday morning, you might have heard there was a Board of Education meeting going on—literally!
There were dueling protests on the streets and a sea of yellow scarves in front of Chicago Public Schools central office. There was the longest list of speakers ever – or at least since Cheat Sheet’s been keeping track.
Eight Forty-Eight talked about the big turnout and heard from folks who spoke with WBEZ’s education reporter, Linda Lutton.
