Protests

Demonstrators protest school closings outside the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) offices prior to the start of a school board meeting on April 3, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois. CPS plans to close more than 50 elementary schools at the end of the school year to help rein in a looming $1 billion budget deficit. The school closings would shift about 30,000 students to new schools and leave more than 1,000 teachers with uncertain futures. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
