Hyde Park North proposed high school debate cluster plan
The Chicago Board of Education weighs an open enrollment plan for Hyde Park Bowen Hirsch and South Shore high schools to cluster contiguously and ease overcrowding amid a projected fall enrollment of 4300 at Hyde Park High. A Hyde Park North campus at George Williams College is urged as a faster remedy than a new full campus, with concerns about sharing and timing.
