Chicago Public Schools officials today released maps of routes where security will be provided for the thousands of children going to news schools this year.
The so-called "safe passage" routes are designed to smoothly shift students from 47 schools being closed this year to nearby schools. (Click HERE to see maps.)
Parents have voiced concern about children crossing rival gang territories and passing empty buildings and vacant lots. Some of them have complained that CPS has been late releasing the maps.
Training for safe passage workers, originally targeted by CPS for this week, is now set to begin next Thursday.
The safe passage program was started by CPS after the beating death of Fenger High School student Derrion Albert in 2009, and until now has been used mostly for high schools. Last school year, it was added in four communities where elementary schools closed.

These hires should be called “Navigators” instead of the IRS lackeys trying to figure out ObamaCare for the masses.
And they should be armed.

I heard they wanted to do walking school buses, in which the kids all walk in a group.

Chicago needs to fenced in and cut off from our tax dollars. Mostly animals live in Chicago, and the few remaining people are incompetent liberals.
Only eight people shot in Chicago last night.

I sure wouldn’t want MY kid crossing into rival gang territory. I’d only want him on his OWN gang’s turf. Gotta love the ‘concerned’ parents.
