The 8th grade students at Saucedo Academy (Chicago) organized a protest at the school on Feb. 10, 2017 because they heard that all the special education schedules were being changed and that Ms. Chambers, their teacher, probably wouldn't be in their 8th grade classes anymore. They were outraged and saddened by hearing this news, since they had worked with Ms. Chambers all year in class. Within 12 hours of hearing the news, they had set up a petition on Change[.]org and a facebook event for the protest on the 10th. The petition has 351 signatures.
Chicago Public Schools has attacked special education this year with over $85 Million in cuts and a new, draconian procedure manual. This has meant a drastic reduction in special education services, such as busing and in special ed classroom assistants, and fewer students being evaluated to receive special education services. There has been a mass exodus of teachers this year, with over 600+ special education teacher vacancies. It appears that Chicago Public Schools is trying to cause mass chaos in special education to push teachers and make further cuts. Length 8:12.
