A divided board, administration, unions, city and public have arguments that are important to thoroughly understand in order to Marshall the public's will, resources and creativity to help prioritize the design and creation of sustainable community schools which provide a high quality education for ALL of Chicago's children - including those in neighborhood schools.

Regardless of which way the vote went , the attention must now turn to what specific actions , activities or programs might be done by the Board, city, public, philanthropic community and others to actually result in sustainable community schools that benefit all of the youth in a reasonably short time .
Next Meetings : Sustainable Community Schools with high quality content is a topic that the Committee will explore in a series discussion in a number of its next monthly meetings .
