CPS CEO: No Discipline for Students Participating in Protest Wednesday

“I’ve made it clear I think it’s an important point in time in our history,” Jackson said Tuesday during a speech at the City Club of Chicago, “and we‘re supporting our students and educators who want to participate in the walkout.”

In addition to standing by its students, Jackson previously said the district has distributed a resource guide to all school principals to foster productive conversations about the issues.

“This is a crucial moment in our country and I want to make sure our students have an opportunity to express themselves and engage thoughtfully in this national dialogue,” Jackson said during the Feb. 28 Board of Education meeting.
