Schurz is the first CPS school certified to harvest lab-grown food and serve it in the cafeteria.

The Chicago Teachers Union mulled what its announced "day of action" that day would actually involve.

The union asked "all concerned Chicago citizens" to "withhold your labor" and boycott classes April 1.

The union said it wouldn't strike over furlough days, while CPS said it wouldn't cut pension payments.

Chicago Public Schools' Forrest Claypool was furious Wednesday about the charter commission's decision.

Amandla Charter High School was among three schools to get a reprieve from a state panel.

The teachers' union threatened a strike if a 7 percent pension pickup is dropped; CPS said it's coming.

The CPS CEO called the layoffs "unfortunate for our principals, teachers and most of all our students."

Northside and Jones college preps, however, weren't far behind, according to the latest CPS numbers.

Acceptances for the top Chicago Public high schools should arrive in mailboxes soon.

CPS Chief Executive Officer Forrest Claypool said Gov. Bruce Rauner is preserving the status quo.

CPS has schools on increased safety alert, but parents say walk-ins are a show of support, not protest.

The cuts announced Tuesday were $20 million more than CPS Forrest Claypool had originally proposed .

Ald. Carrie Austin threw it to the Finance Committee and tried to ignore calls for a vote on it.

"Teachers around the city are united right now," said Chicago Teachers Union VP Jesse Sharkey.
