An impressive crowd including Deneen students and parents, Jonathan Jackson and some Operation PUSH members, and about a dozen CORE members took to the streets on February 23rd to protest CPS’s plan to turn Deneen school over to AUSL for their turnaround experimentation.   AUSL remains the turnover agency of choice in CPS despite new studies that show the vast majority of  AUSL graduates do not remain in the schools they are turning around for more than a couple of years.
The community action lasted from 4PM until a little after 5PM and was extremely well received with people on both 71st Street and the Dan Ryan honking their horns in support.   Even the CTA trains were heard honking their horns in solidarity.
