Chicago to move away from school choice, center neighborhood schools to rectify 'structural racism'

The Chicago Board of Education on Thursday announced that they passed a resolution to bolster the city’s neighborhood schools to rectify past "inequity."

He went on to say, "As such, this moment requires a transformational plan that shifts away from a model that emphasizes school choice to one that elevates our neighborhood schools to ensure each and every student has access to a high-quality educational experience."

According to the resolution that was passed, the board looks to "transition away from privatization and admissions/enrollment policies and approaches that further stratification and inequity in CPS and drive student enrollment away from neighborhood schools." Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.

Furthermore, the board wants to create a model where neighborhood schools are central to the education system – one that recognizes these schools as "institutional anchors" in the community to rectify "past ongoing racial and economic inequity and structural disinvestment."
