Sedgwick Street Signs Spark Chicago School Controversy
The city board of education is criticized for allowing Sedgwick street signs to spell out the odd 8-e-d-g-w-l-c-k sequence in front of Lane Technical High School on Sedgwick street. The passage notes a lack of sagacity and spunk among board members to address the signage issue amid ongoing concerns at the city’s largest public high school.
