The Chicago school board voted to keep open all of the seven schools slated for closure in the Acero Charter Network through the end of the 2025-26 school year.

At a rally to save Acero Charter Schools slated for closure, families and community members voiced their anxieties after a parent was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Officials while they were taking their children to school Wednesday morning.

The plan overrides the charter network's plan to shutter half of its schools. The change came after CPS officials warned that helping Acero keep all seven campuses could violate state law and be financially risky for CPS.
