Parents Upset Over Special Education Student Displacement at Prescott Elementary School

Parents at Prescott Elementary School in Lincoln Park, Chicago, are expressing significant concern and anger over special education students allegedly being taught in inadequate spaces, including stairwell landings and converted storage areas. They report that these issues have persisted since the previous school year without resolution. The local school council has committed to holding a meeting with parents, teachers, and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) to seek a long-term solution. CPS, however, maintains that all instructional areas at Prescott Elementary are safe and that no students have been displaced, despite some classroom relocations.
