2017
In 2017, we worked to ensure the passage of universal enrollment at the high-school level by bridging the gap between grasstops and grassroots stakeholders. We collected parent feedback on the current application process, hired national experts as advisors and critical partners, and provided project management support to Chicago Public Schools.
We also released a pivotal report Who is Sitting in those Seats? which examines district performance from 2011 to 2017.
