Chicago, IL-May 14, 2012, Occupy Chicago, other activists, students, and teachers gathered today for an afternoon of fun, celebrating the arts at Dyett High School, even as Rahm Emanuel’s administration threatened to close the school, after more than a year of eviscerating the schools arts programs.
“If we think there’s a chance that a building is going to close in the next five to ten years, if we think it’s unlikely it’s going to continue to be a school we’re not going to invest,” said Tim Crawley, CPS chief Operating Officer.
