Newly introduced CPS head Ron Huberman received a less-than-friendly welcome from the gallery when he was introduced at a Chicago Board of Education meeting today, prompting Board President Rufus Williams to admonish the crowd. The crowd criticized the Huberman choice, citing his lack of education experience while other critical comments weren't directed directly at Huberman, but rather at the CPS as a whole for the controversial decision to shut down 22 schools.
