A parent of two students at Eli Whitney Elementary School in Little Village is sweating the school's principal over a letter sent home to students requiring donations to the school's air conditioning funds. Or else? According to a report by our own Lauren FitzPatrick, "And parents are being told by the principal and some of his staff that if their fees aren't paid by report card pickup day on Tuesday, their children's report cards won't be released." Be sure to read all of FitzPatrick's story on the matter and check out the entire letter from principal Jorge A. Ruiz above.
Shame on you for asking parents to pay such fees!! As if we, the parents, don't have enough in our plate to worry about already! We were very supporting of the CTU and the strike , I'm sure this can all be figured out without having to burden the parents any further.
