Attorney Hopes To Secure Place For Jones Prep Cross-Country Team In Regionals Despite Teachers’ Strike
As CBS 2's Charlie De Mar reported Tuesday night, the lawyer behind the new push has a stake in the team.
CHICAGO (CBS) — A Chicago Public Schools cross-country team has lawyered up – now looking for a way to keep their season alive as teachers are on strike.
As CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar reported Tuesday night, the lawyer behind the new push has a stake in the team. He is the father of one of the varsity cross-country runners at Jones College Prep, and he is hoping the vagueness of the wording of the Illinois High School Association rules will allow the team to run in the regionals this weekend.
