CPS releases maps of 'safe passage' routes

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.

day10 ~~:" How unbelievably sad that life has come to this in that area. Where are Jesse, Al, and Barry on this?"

They are busy feathering their own nests of power and money , and self-importance .
They can't be bothered by black on black crime ; instead they want to work on the Trayvon™ "packaged"
story being still pumped , and pimped by the media .

It sorta reminds me of the expression : 'Which way did they go? I have to find them ! I am their leader !! '

When I was in school, the big concern was crossing the street safely.

News schools?

I emailed Mayor Rhambo that he should deputize the Million Moms Against Gun Violence and send them in to clean up the illegal weapons.

So far, no response....

Let he who is without typo cast the first flame..

FYI, “chimpmania” is a virulent racist site, I suspect linking to any content there is frowned upon by the management of FR.

How about the LZ for the medevac chopper?

The secret map is out; RUN FOE YOUR LIVES!!

Nah, your okay as long as you remember to take those big Skittles in the corners to make your Drank.

I think that the City of Chicago School System should invest in some Israeli armored buses.

Chicago needs to fenced in and cut off from our tax dollars.

Could we at least keep access to Greektown? The world needs access to good Saganaki.

I don’t get paid to spell correctly.

Maybe they should have an underground railroad ala the real slave days.

HA! And instead of fruit, one of the prizes searched for is a .357. OR 12-gauge.

Dis game's got potential, yo! The setting of the game can remain Chitown...OR...South-Central, Detroit, Camden...etc.
