The last week of February, students from each of PSU's chapters held an action to respond to the District's plan, Imagine 2014. This plan is directly based off Renaissance 2010, the Chicago plan for closing and taking over low-performing schools.
We know that closing schools or having them taken over by Charter Management Organizations or EMOs (private companies) is not the answer for fixing our schools. So at this action we presented a different vision for empowering students and communities to really transform our schools.
This audio for this piece was recorded by Amendu Evans (SEIU 32BJ) and Kistine Carolan (Media Mobilizing Project). The piece was produced by Candace Carter, PSU.
