Happy Thursday, Illinois.
HISTORIC! Donald Trump was impeached a second time, and now the most press-hungry president in history has gone dark (and yes, there are other ways for the leader of the free world to get his views out besides Twitter).
Meghan Hayes, who teaches at John Hay Community Academy, teaches her class outside Chicago Public Schools Board President Miguel del Valle’s home in the Cragin neighborhood on Wednesday morning. Further down the block, Tracy Royer logged in to teach her Pre-Kindergarten students at Gale Community Academy. Some teachers have been locked out of their remote teaching accounts for refusing to teach in-person due to COVID-19 safety concerns.
