In a burst of tweets Friday morning, Chicago schools CEO Janice Jackson said she was “sick to my stomach” to learn of the Chicago Tribune’s investigative findings on sexual violence against CPS students.
Jackson praised students and recent graduates for speaking out in the articles about their experiences of being abused by school employees.
“I want to acknowledge the victims and thank them for their bravery,” she said in one of the tweets, which began about 7 a.m., shortly after the Tribune series “Betrayed” was launched on the paper’s website.
“To all Chicago parents: I will not stop. I will not rest. I will not be satisfied until I’m confident that the district is doing everything in our power to protect our children,” Jackson wrote.
