Drummond Families Together is encouraging people to learn about the desegregation consent decree that Chicago Public Schools has been under since 1980 and then take action to preserve it. This is an important issue for your children and their education. Please take some time to learn more and take action by submitting comments to the court.
1. Learn about the consent decree:
A recent story on WBEZ about the consent decree and featuring a Drummond Parent is at this link:

Thanks to everyone who sent your feedback on the proposed LSC/Committee Best Practices Guidelines that were circulated last month. The Council plans to review the proposal and your feedback at this week’s meeting (Thursday, Nov 20 at 7:30AM). Attached is a slightly revised version of the Guidelines (in English and Spanish). Your insights on how LSC committees should function are important to maintaining a school that supports volunteerism at every level. Thanks for your help!
