From the 19th Ward Facebook page:
19th Ward friends, I understand from a very reliable source that the 19th Ward and CPS plan to close Kellogg school and combine the population with Sutherland. The implications of this will be devastating to the community. Sutherland is already experiencing a mass exodus of students due entirely to the LSC group that stormed the LSC fired Principal Gannon and brought in Eric Steinmiller. Sutherland is in turmoil and the 19th Ward believes the solution is transferring the Kellogg population to Sutherland. Principal Steinmiller and the 19th Ward seem to believe that if there is a list of students waiting to get into Sutherland, then there is not an issue. The waiting list draws from outside of the Sutherland boundaries. The number of students that attend Sutherland from inside the boundaries is dropping dramatically and daily! The implications of this are far reaching to the entire community. It is time the community rises up and demands a viable and healthy public grammar school in both Central and North BEVERLY that draws from the local constituents. If not the result will be catastrophic. Contact the 19th Ward, the Sutherland LSC and CPS ASAP!
