The Acero Charter School Network in Chicago has announced planned school closures for the 2025 school year.
Nearly 2,000 elementary and high school students along with 270 staffers are affected by the plans to shutter seven Acero Charter Schools across the city in June next year.
The affected schools are in the Avondale, Brighton Park, West Town, Little Village, Pilsen and West Ridge neighborhoods. The Chicago Teachers Union also released a statement saying the closures will rattle families and neighborhoods. "The CTU unequivocally condemns this move. If Acero is allowed to move forward with this reckless plan, it will destabilize countless school communities. After committing to communicate with the union and partner to avoid school closings during negotiations over the summer, the charter management company has turned its back on its students and the entire educational community.
