Развитие событий с закрытием трех самых ужасных чикагских школ. По поводу Frazier Elementary (with fewer than 25 percent of its students meeting state academic standards) начались демонстрации! "We're here to keep fighting," said Rev. Paul Jakes, who, along with members of Frazier's local school council, organized the demonstration. "This is about fairness, about equalizing the playing field for all children."

Malloy, who is retiring after this school year, said fewer than 5 percent of the school's children were meeting state standards when she took the helm in 1991. Since then, scores have fluctuated up to nearly 30 percent, she said.
