Yesterday at the Chicago Board of Education meeting, a meeting where the main topic of discussion were draconian budget cuts, students from Chicago Students Organizing to Save Our Schools took over the meeting, blasting the Board for balancing their budget on the backs of students and teachers. "TIF" monies, which are a slush fund for Mayor Rahm Emanuel could be used to keep schools operating, but the Board made primarily of well-to-do business people who don't send their kids to public schools. refuse to touch those reserves.
The action starts at the 2 minute mark.
