With start of school days away, CPS parents seek more COVID safety measures and a remote learning option: ‘They want us to blindly hand our children over’

Though the turnout at Wednesday’s rally was relatively small, one of the groups that organized it, Raise Your Hand for Illinois Public Education, said two online petitions seeking a virtual learning option — one started by Raise Your Hand and another aimed specifically at Indian Prairie District 204 in the Aurora-Naperville area — have gained more than 6,000 signatures.
