At Paul Robeson High School, a handful of students trickled in as about two dozen teachers picketed outside. Ebony Irvin, 17, says she only came to school because she didn’t have anywhere else to go. She planned to do homework from last week.
CPS CEO Jean-Claude Brizard says there are other locations to turn to as well.
“We have locations throughout the city and 76 libraries providing opportunities for the students,” he said.
There are other locations, including YMCA locations and churches.
