After they were rebuffed at City Hall, they went to the school and nearly 30 of them staged a sit-in demanding a meeting with the mayor and Chicago Public Schools’ Board of Education. Their school is one of ten the board will vote to “turn around” on Wednesday. The controversial program fires the entire staff of a so-called failing school and replaces it with new teachers, and often management is handed over to a charter school system.
