Congratulations to the activists (students, parents, teachers) who made this happen. This is unprecedented in CPS’s long history of school closings and displacement. God bless this new era https://t.co/dCb3fW3Tke

#BlackStudentsMatter For real?!?!? Imagine if CPS truly valued community voice..This conclusion was one of the very first options expressed and shared with CPS..It only took dividing communities, countless # of man hours, TIFF scandals, and who knows how much $$... #ChicagoWay

During customary remarks to the Chicago Board of Education today, CPS CEO Janice Jackson said the district would explore how to strengthen existing high schools near the South Loop. This comes days after CPS dropped a plan to open a high school in the National Teachers Academy.

#BlackStudentsMatter #GameRecognizeGame What's the over/under that @WeAreNTA principal gets removed? 10 months? We know #ChicagoWay is vindictive and petty @SSKedreporter @bylaurenfitz @cueChicago @mazjac @AmaraEnyia @LightfootForChi @ILRaiseYourHand @ChgoCivilRights #cpsboard

When folks have had enough!
When Black students are being harmed!
When Black parents show up!
Major congrats to @BSMChicago @WeAreNTA and all the folks who got this done!

[BlackStudentsMatter @BSMChicago]

#BlackStudentsMatter Wondering if @AUSLChicago releases statement today about how proud they are to keep A+ @WeAreNTA in their network... Do u think this victory empowers AUSL to be more courageous & fight for the black students they eat off of? Or is CPS money that delicious?

@ccoramoore @niketasays #BlackStudentsMatter Mad love to the legal team for demonstrating courage and having the audacity to represent justice against a system historically bringing harm to black and brown children. This victory adds to the blueprint for communities to use in their fight for equity.

In a stunning/unheard of turn of events, Chicago Public Schools is giving up its plans to convert NTA into a high school. Comes after a dramatic decision by a judge granting a preliminary injunction while a lawsuit challenging the plan moves forward.

UPDATE: Chicago Public Schools says it is abandoning plans to convert the National Teachers Academy into a high school, citing the potential disruption of legal action.

NTA will remain an elementary school, a district spokesman says. Parents to hear their new options this week.

[Lauren FitzPatrick @bylaurenfitz]

BREAKING: CPS won't appeal the @NTA_ALSC decision. NTA to remain an elementary school, separate from South Loop. CPS: "We believe appealing today’s decision could create greater long-term uncertainty for students and we will not move forward with an appeal."

Since Chicago started shutting down schools as an education strategy in 2002, 70,160 students have lived through a closing or seen all staff at their school fired; 61,420 of those students were black.
