The sit-in at Whittier Elementary continues, now reaching it's 10th day despite warnings from the parents' own inspector the building may not be safe to occupy may need roof repairs to make it safe to occupy though his inspection was based only on a visual assessment and not a full, technical assessment. Meanwhile, parents of students also protested outside the office of Ald. Danny Solis (25th) after Solis promised the building, planned to be torn down to make way for a soccer field to be used by a private school located next door, would not be demolished until a third assessment has been completed. Progress Illinois and Revision Street's Anne Elizabeth Moore have more on the ongoing situation.
