This week Noble parents and alumni attended the monthly CPS Board of Education meeting. Because it was a packed meeting, some of our parents were not able to speak due to time. Ms. H, a Mansueto High School parent shares her concern for #dacamented students here #chartersforchange #BeNoble "Hello my name is Irma. I am the mother of 3 children. I have one student who is in college at Harold Washington, a sophomore at Mansueto high school, a Noble school on the west side, and my youngest is in second grade at Talman. I am here today to speak on behalf of the students of DACA because they are currently in a difficult situation and my personal experience I know that students suffer tremendously to get ahead in this country. They have the drive to better themselves in this country, but they don’t have the easily have the resources. In my personal experience I have nephew who graduated top of the class with honors from Phoenix military academy and in actuality it is sad that he didn’t have the support and didn’t receive much financial aid. He now works 2 jobs and goes to school to continue his education and doesn't sleep much. I am glad that Noble has a focus on supporting our DACA students to and through college. Last year some of our DACA students received a $12,000 scholarship through our Pritzker Access Scholarship program, in place of financial aid. The Pritzker Access Scholarship program support helps students through the transition to college, and helps develop the academic goals to make college graduation a reality. At least 70% of the original cohort (2015) is projected to graduate from college. Noble will continue to work to protect and support our undocumented students. I ask for continued assurance from CPS that you will work to support and protect our DACA students"
