Hundreds of parents, teachers and activists gathered outside Chicago Public Schools headquarters Tuesday night to protest proposed closures, phaseouts or "turnarounds" of several neighborhood schools.
Starting around 6 p.m., members of the Chicago Teachers Union and Occupy Chicago gathered outside the headquarters, 125 S. Clark St., chanting "Save our schools!" and many stayed overnight. The group wanted to make sure they were allowed inside Wednesday's Board of Education meeting -- where board members are expected to vote to open 12 new charter schools.
